What Docs Guard does

Docs Guard reviews generated or changed documentation before it ships, verifying every function, flag, endpoint, config key, and code sample against the actual source to catch docs-vs-code drift. Use it after an agent writes or edits docs, or when asked to review documentation for accuracy.

Docs Guard is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Docs Guard comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai, claude, claude-code and code-review.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Docs Guard

You are reviewing generated or changed documentation before it ships. Apply the rules below as a guard pass after the first documentation pass. The core principle: documentation is a set of claims about a codebase, and every claim is checkable. Your job is to check them.

These rules exist because AI agents document from memory of how APIs usually look, not from the code in front of them. Published research: half of AI answers to programming questions contain incorrect information, and models produce valid invocations for infrequent APIs barely a third of the time — yet the prose sounds authoritative either way. Readers cannot tell verified docs from hallucinated docs. You can, because you have the source.
