FAQPage Schema
How do I detect drift between my code and documentation?

Documentation drift detection compares your actual code signatures, examples, and architecture against what's written in docs and README files. This Skill automatically parses source code, extracts API signatures, and validates them against documented versions to flag mismatches across languages and release cycles.

Can I validate code examples in my documentation automatically?

Yes. Example validation checks embedded code snippets in your docs against actual implementations in your codebase. The Skill runs these examples and catches cases where documentation examples no longer match the current API or behavior.

What's the best way to keep README and API documentation synchronized with code changes?

Auto-update documentation during pull requests and refactoring by running synchronization across code and docs. This Skill detects what changed in your source, generates updated diagrams from code structure, and refreshes README and API documentation automatically.

Can I generate architecture diagrams from my source code?

Architecture diagram generation extracts structure and relationships from your codebase to produce visual representations automatically. This keeps diagrams current without manual redrawing when code evolves.

Does this work across different programming languages and project structures?

Yes. The Skill applies to software projects and repositories across languages and release cycles. It handles parsing source code in different languages to extract signatures and validate examples universally.
