docs-maintain

A command that checks existing technical documentation against the current source code and plans corrections for differences.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit, update, or verify documentation, with refactoring applied only after approval.
Why use it?
It helps find documentation drift, such as removed endpoints, renamed environment variables, or changed schema fields.

Command

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.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/acaprino/daodan

Or install codebase-mapper, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 5 commands, 10 agents.

Per session 112 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 2,588 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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-maintain 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 3d ago.

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.

Maintain Documentation

Use the documentation-engineer agent to audit and refactor existing documentation:

$ARGUMENTS

This command provides a comprehensive documentation management workflow:

What This Does

  1. Audit Phase - Inventories all existing documentation and runs a per-dimension drift check against the actual codebase. For each dimension the audit reports added / removed / renamed / retyped items, not just generic "outdated content". See "Per-Dimension Drift Checks" below for the full matrix.

  2. Planning Phase - Creates a refactoring plan to fix identified issues:

    • Merge duplicate content
    • Update outdated sections with surgical Edits (per dimension)
    • Link or archive orphaned pages
    • Fix broken references
    • Add missing sections for undocumented dimensions
  3. Interactive Decision - Asks if you want to execute the refactoring plan

  4. Execution Phase (optional) - Applies refactoring with your approval:

    • Reorganizes documentation structure
    • Merges and consolidates content
    • Updates references and links
    • Verifies no content was lost

When to Use

Use this command when you need to:

  • Perform quarterly documentation health checks
  • Clean up docs after major codebase refactoring
  • Fix scattered or duplicated documentation
  • Prepare documentation before onboarding new team members
  • Identify gaps in API documentation coverage
  • Ensure documentation matches current implementation

Example Interactive Flow

Audit-only workflow (report without changes):

You:   /docs-maintain --audit-only

Agent: I've inventoried your documentation. Found:
       - 3 duplicate documentation files
       - 5 outdated sections that don't match code
       - 2 orphaned pages
       - 1 broken link

       [Detailed audit report provided]

Full refactoring workflow (audit -> plan -> execute):

You:   /docs-maintain

Agent: I've inventoried your documentation. Found:
       - 3 duplicate documentation files
       - 5 outdated sections that don't match code
       - 2 orphaned pages
       - 1 broken link

       Should I create a refactoring plan to fix these?
You:   Yes

Agent: Here's the refactoring plan:
       1. Merge UserAPI.md and user-api-reference.md -> api/users.md
       2. Update 5 outdated sections to match current code
       3. Link orphaned pages from main README or archive them
       4. Fix broken link in README.md

       Approve this plan?
You:   Yes

Agent: Executing refactoring...
       Done: Merged duplicate files
       Done: Updated outdated sections
       Done: Fixed orphaned pages
       Done: Fixed broken links

       Verification: All original content preserved, structure improved

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.

docs-maintain is a command published in the GitHub repository acaprino/daodan (8 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 2,588 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
