SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Drift between runtime behavior and documentation can lead to misconfigurations, outdated onboarding guidance, and inconsistent expectations across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Keeps docs aligned with code by cross-checking authoritative sources (README, startup scripts, env vars) against deployed state.
  • Flags and surfaces drift findings to trigger documentation updates before deployment.
  • Supports change-management workflows in teams maintaining multi-service architectures.

Quick Start

Run a drift check after code changes to ensure documentation matches the current runtime configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions about docs-drift-sync

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect documentation drift against runtime behavior?

Detect documentation drift by cross-checking the authoritative README and SKILL.md against the current runtime state. This surfaces misconfigurations in ports, entry points, env variables, and routes before deployment.

What is the best way to keep docs in lockstep with runtime configuration changes?

Keep docs in lockstep by running a drift check after code changes to compare deployed state with authoritative sources. This flags configuration mismatches to trigger traceable documentation updates.

How do I verify startup commands and env variables match the deployed state?

Verify startup commands and env variables by comparing current runtime behavior against the authoritative README. This identifies and surfaces drift findings to prevent misconfigurations across services.

Can I use this for change management in multi-service architectures?

Yes, you can use drift checks for change management in multi-service architectures. It flags documentation mismatches across services, ensuring deployed state changes are reflected in docs with guardrails in place.

Why does my documentation drift after updating service routes and entry points?

Documentation drifts after updating routes and entry points because runtime behavior changes are not automatically reflected in authoritative sources. Cross-checking the deployed state against docs surfaces these mismatches.

Does docs-drift-sync require specific dependencies to surface runtime drift?

No dependencies are required to surface runtime drift. The process directly compares current runtime state against the authoritative README and SKILL.md to provide traceable documentation updates.
