What happens if I already have a Doc Detective configuration?

The skill detects existing configuration files and performs a smart merge, presenting a diff for your approval before making any changes.

What file types does Doc Detective Project Bootstrap support?

It supports Markdown (.md), MDX (.mdx), AsciiDoc (.adoc), reStructuredText (.rst), and HTML files.

How does the fix loop work?

The fix loop analyzes test failures, generates corrections with confidence scores, and applies them automatically or flags them for user review based on a configurable threshold.

Can I use this skill in a CI/CD environment?

Yes, the skill includes a headless CI mode via the --ci flag that uses sensible defaults and skips interactive prompts for automated environments.

Does it modify my existing documentation files?

By default, it generates tests in a separate directory. However, the final phase allows you to safely inject verified tests back into your source files if desired.
