Docs Cleanup

Use this skill when the user asks for a documentation audit, cleanup pass, or stale-doc review.

Goals

  • Find conflicting or outdated install/run instructions.
  • Check whether examples still match current CLI/API behavior.
  • Flag missing guidance that blocks onboarding, testing, or release tasks.
  • Keep output focused on actionable findings with file references.

Workflow

  1. Collect candidate docs:
    • README.md
    • docs/source/**/*.rst
    • CONTRIBUTING.md
    • .github/ templates/workflows when relevant to user instructions.
  2. Validate install/run instructions against current repo behavior:
    • Build and test commands in docs vs commands in CMakeLists.txt, pyproject.toml, CI workflows, and scripts/.
    • Confirm paths, filenames, and prerequisites are still valid.
  3. Validate examples:
    • Compare documented examples with samples/, test/, and current interfaces.
    • Check that command arguments and expected outputs are still plausible.
  4. Identify gaps:
    • Missing prerequisites, platform caveats, troubleshooting notes, or release-process notes.
  5. Report findings first, ordered by severity:
    • High: wrong instruction likely to fail.
    • Medium: confusing/outdated but recoverable.
    • Low: clarity/consistency improvements.

Output Format

  • Findings list with severity, file, and exact issue.
  • Proposed fix for each finding.
  • Open questions or assumptions.
  • If no findings: explicitly state that and note residual risk areas not fully validated.

Guardrails

  • Prefer small documentation edits over broad rewrites.
  • Avoid speculative claims; cite the source file/command that contradicts the docs.
  • Do not edit generated docs under docs/_build/ or docs/doxygen/.
