How does it identify outdated documentation?

The skill performs a staleness audit by checking the last modified date of markdown files and flagging those that haven't been updated in over 90 days.

Does it validate the code snippets inside my documentation?

Yes, it can extract code blocks from your markdown files and run syntax checks to ensure the examples provided to users are valid and functional.

Is it compatible with monorepos?

Yes, it is designed to handle monorepos by generating root-level overviews as well as subdirectory READMEs for individual packages and apps.

Does this skill only create README files?

No, it manages a full documentation suite including ARCHITECTURE.md, ADRs, CONTRIBUTING.md, and .env.example files based on the project's specific needs.

Can it verify if the links in my documentation work?

Yes, it uses link-checking utilities to verify both internal and external links, ensuring users don't encounter 404 errors in your guides.
