What problem does it solves? Inconsistent, incomplete, or poorly structured documentation leads to confusion, wasted time, and a poor developer experience. This Skill automates the validation process, ensuring all documentation meets defined quality standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structure Validation: Checks for required sections in READMEs, ADRs, API docs, and guides against predefined templates.
Markdown Syntax Review: Identifies common Markdown formatting issues (e.g., header levels, code blocks, links).
Consistency Checks: Ensures terminology and formatting are uniform across documents.
Use Case: Before merging a pull request, ask Claude to "Check if the README is complete and follows best practices" to get a detailed report on its quality and adherence to standards.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate documentation structure against templates?▼

Documentation structure validation checks your README, ADRs, API docs, and guides against predefined templates to ensure required sections are present and properly formatted. Load templates from templates.md, and the Skill identifies missing sections, syntax errors, and inconsistencies, then outputs a detailed report with passed checks, warnings, and critical issues.

What documentation issues does markdown syntax review catch?▼

Markdown syntax review identifies common formatting problems including incorrect header levels, improperly closed code blocks, broken links, and inconsistent styling. The Skill flags these issues so you can fix them before merging pull requests.

Can I check multiple documentation types at once?▼

Yes, the Skill validates READMEs, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), API documentation, and guides in a single pass. It applies the appropriate template for each document type and checks consistency across all files in your validation set.

How do I use this before merging documentation changes?▼

Attach your documentation file and ask the Skill to validate its structure and completeness. It returns a report detailing which sections pass standards, which need warnings, and which are critical blockers—giving you actionable feedback before the pull request review.

What happens if my documentation doesn't match the template?▼

The Skill generates a validation report highlighting inconsistencies between your document and the defined template. Critical issues block validation, warnings suggest improvements, and the report includes specific recommendations to bring your docs into compliance.

Does consistency checking work across multiple documents?▼

Yes, consistency checks ensure terminology and formatting remain uniform across your documentation set. The Skill flags deviations so you can standardize language and structure across READMEs, guides, ADRs, and API docs.
