update-docs

To automatically update documentation after code changes, you need a tool that reads source files, compares them against existing docs, and generates or suggests edits to align the documentation with the current implementation.

Keeping a changelog and README in sync with source code requires comparing the actual code against existing documentation to identify gaps and inconsistencies, then generating proposed edits to reflect the latest behavior.

Yes, you can generate release notes by analyzing source files directly. The process reads the current implementation, compares it to existing documentation, and automatically proposes updates to capture the latest behavior.

To flag documentation inconsistencies during a pull request review, run an automated code analysis tool that reads source files, detects mismatches against existing docs, and highlights gaps for manual review.

Automated docs generation works for projects with frequent refactoring and feature rollouts by reading the updated source files after each change and suggesting documentation edits to accurately reflect the new implementation.

You should not rely solely on automated documentation synchronization when a project lacks existing documentation to compare against, as these tools function by reading source files and proposing edits to align current docs with current code behavior.
