docs

To keep API documentation accurate after feature updates, you need a repeatable process that verifies actual code implementations and updates user-facing docs to reflect current release states, preventing documentation drift.

The Diátaxis framework classifies technical documentation into four types: Tutorials, How-to guides, Reference, and Explanation. Applying it guides the writing style and structure to ensure content matches user intent and clarity standards.

Fix outdated onboarding flows by exploring the actual codebase to verify current feature behavior, then updating onboarding sections and USER_GUIDE.md files to align user journeys with the real product implementation.

The best way to prevent documentation drift is enforcing a documentation update protocol after every feature change, ensuring guides are verified against actual code and written with concise, imperative language.

Yes, this approach supports updating documentation for feature releases, onboarding updates, API changes, and existing documentation gaps by verifying actual implementations and applying Diátaxis classification to guide the writing workflow.

Run the documentation update protocol immediately after a feature change or release to ensure all user-facing guides and API references reflect the current implementation state, maintaining accuracy and preventing onboarding confusion.
