github-readme-contract-sync

To keep a GitHub README in sync, use frontmatter-driven metadata to capture and enforce separate build prerequisites and installed-runtime prerequisites, ensuring documentation accurately reflects current live contracts.

Separating build prerequisites from runtime prerequisites requires documenting them through frontmatter-driven metadata, clearly describing development status and caveats so contributors see correct environment expectations.

Frontmatter metadata validates README content against source, tests, and validated build outputs by clearly marking completed versus in-progress areas, promoting architecture and workflow transparency over marketing copy.

Yes, you can document dev-time content-loading seams that affect local README rendering, ensuring contributors see the correct guidance and accurate environment notes when rendering documentation locally.

Yes, this approach applies across source builds, local development, and installed runtime environments to ensure accurate prerequisites, environment notes, and usage expectations in a reproducible format.

Avoid automated documentation syncing when your product lacks actively developed build, runtime, and installer contracts, or when you cannot validate README content against source, tests, and validated build outputs.
