Documentation Verification
Use this skill when a docs change needs evidence, not just a writing pass.
Activation Conditions
- Reviewing docs before merge or release
- Checking README, setup, or config accuracy
- Verifying local links, commands, and code samples
- Confirming docs changed alongside user-facing behavior
Verification Workflow
- Confirm the docs cover the changed behavior.
- Check relative links and referenced files.
- Validate commands and snippets where feasible.
- Report missing coverage and stale claims explicitly.
Review Checklist
- Public behavior changes are documented
- Local links resolve
- Examples and commands still make sense
- Setup steps reflect current tool versions
- README and CHANGELOG were updated when required
