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

1. Confirm the docs cover the changed behavior.
2. Check relative links and referenced files.
3. Validate commands and snippets where feasible.
4. 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
