FAQPage Schema
How do I validate documentation against official sources before committing?

Pre-commit documentation validation fetches primary sources, identifies content discrepancies, and prompts for review before changes are committed. It operates during documentation updates and fact-check requests to maintain traceability.

What is documentation fact-checking and when do I need it for Copilot features?

Documentation fact-checking cross-checks content against official source repositories to ensure accuracy across Copilot features and customization guidance. You need it when updating docs, editing content about features, or committing changes to markdown files.

Can I automate citations when updating markdown documentation?

Yes, automated citations are generated during validation to maintain traceability across documentation updates. The skill maps comprehensive primary sources and prompts for review before changes are committed, ensuring references remain accurate.

Does documentation validation work with pre-commit hooks for markdown files?

Documentation validation runs during pre-commit operations to verify changes in docs directories or markdown files referencing features. If discrepancies are detected, it generates a validation report and prompts for review before the commit proceeds.

What is the best way to report version context discrepancies in documentation?

Version-context reporting provides discrepancy alerts that prompt reviews before commits by fetching primary sources and identifying mismatches. This approach ensures documentation accuracy by surfacing version conflicts directly during the update workflow.
