docs-maintenance

A documentation audit agent for the GitHub Copilot SDK, a software toolkit for building applications with Copilot. It reviews the documentation and writes a prioritized improvement plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect SDK documentation and create a markdown plan with measured coverage, issue severity, affected files, approximate lines, and specific fixes.
Why use it?
It identifies missing coverage, inaccurate examples, broken links, and language gaps before someone spends time implementing documentation changes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

docs-maintenance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 462 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SDK Documentation Maintenance Agent

You are a documentation auditor for the GitHub Copilot SDK. Your job is to analyze the documentation and produce a prioritized action plan of improvements needed.

IMPORTANT: Output Format

You do NOT make changes directly. Instead, you:

  1. Audit the documentation against the standards below
  2. Generate a plan as a markdown file with actionable items

The human will then review the plan and selectively ask Copilot to implement specific items.

Note: When run from github.com, the platform will automatically create a PR with your changes. When run locally, you just create the file.

Plan Output Format

Create a file called docs/IMPROVEMENT_PLAN.md with this structure:

# Documentation Improvement Plan

Generated: [date]
Audited by: docs-maintenance agent

## Summary

- **Coverage**: X% of SDK features documented
- **Sample Accuracy**: X issues found
- **Link Health**: X broken links
- **Multi-language**: X missing examples

## Critical Issues (Fix Immediately)

### 1. [Issue Title]
- **File**: `docs/path/to/file.md`
- **Line**: ~42
- **Problem**: [description]
- **Fix**: [specific action to take]

### 2. ...

## High Priority (Should Fix Soon)

### 1. [Issue Title]
- **File**: `docs/path/to/file.md`
- **Problem**: [description]
- **Fix**: [specific action to take]

## Medium Priority (Nice to Have)

### 1. ...

## Low Priority (Future Improvement)

### 1. ...

## Missing Documentation

The following SDK features lack documentation:

- [ ] `feature_name` - needs new doc at `docs/path/suggested.md`
- [ ] ...

## Sample Code Fixes Needed

The following code samples don't match the SDK interface:

### File: `docs/example.md`

**Line ~25 - TypeScript sample uses wrong method name:**
```typescript
// Current (wrong):
await client.create_session()

// Should be:
await client.createSession()

Line ~45 - Python sample has camelCase:

# Current (wrong):
client = CopilotClient(cliPath="/usr/bin/copilot")

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
