docs-drift-maintenance

docs-drift-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code from chf3198/copilot-governance. It costs 34 tokens per session (664 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance check for documentation that may no longer match the code, configuration, workflows, user experience, or release process. Documentation drift means that written instructions have become inaccurate after changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changing commands, configuration, APIs, workflows, or release steps, and before merging or releasing changes when documentation accuracy matters.
Why use it?
It prevents a feature from being considered complete when its related documentation is outdated or missing. It checks the applicable local, public, extension, release, and code-documentation surfaces.

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-drift-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 6d 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.

Docs Drift Maintenance

When to use

  • After any change to commands, config, workflows, API/CLI behavior, or release process.
  • Before merge/release if docs accuracy is part of acceptance.
  • Before declaring a feature complete (not just gates-complete).

Documentation coverage matrix (required)

For feature-adds and behavior changes, evaluate all applicable surfaces:

  1. Local operator docs
    • README.md
    • docs/technical/system-stability.md
    • docs/workflow/learnings.md
  2. Public repository docs
    • .github/CONTRIBUTING.md
    • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
    • community profile files (CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, SUPPORT.md) when behavior changes affect contributor workflow
  3. VS Code extension public profile
    • vscode-extension/README.md
    • vscode-extension/CHANGELOG.md
    • vscode-extension/package.json metadata/settings descriptions
  4. Release traceability docs
    • root CHANGELOG.md
    • release notes / GitHub release object
  5. Inline code documentation (added #101 — global linting governance)
    • JS/TS: JSDoc on all exported/public functions (@param, @returns, @description)
    • Python: Google-style docstrings on all public functions, classes, and modules
    • Bash: Header comment block on each script; inline comments on non-obvious logic
    • CSS: Section header comments; non-obvious rule explanations
    • Governed by lint-configs/eslint.config.devenv.js (JSDoc rules) and lint-configs/ruff.devenv.toml (D rules)
    • Drift check: run npm run lint:all; any new jsdoc/* or D* violations are inline-doc drift

Procedure

  1. Enumerate changed behavior/config/workflow/code surfaces.
  2. Map each change to impacted docs using the coverage matrix above.
  3. Identify stale, missing, or contradictory statements.
  4. Apply minimal doc deltas that restore correctness and traceability.
  5. Verify docs now match actual behavior and invocation paths.
  6. Record what was intentionally N/A and why.

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.
