# Documentation Alignment Skill
|
||||
|
||||
6-phase verification ensuring code implementations match their documentation with automated alignment scoring.
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Systematic verification of code-documentation alignment through discovery, extraction, analysis, classification, fix generation, and validation.
|
||||
|
||||
## What's Included
|
||||
|
||||
- **Examples**: Function signature mismatches, parameter changes, type updates
|
||||
- **Reference**: 6-phase process, alignment scoring formula
|
||||
- **Templates**: Alignment report structures
|
||||
- **Checklists**: 101-point verification checklist
|
||||
|
||||
## Alignment Scoring
|
||||
|
||||
Score = (Signature×30% + Type×25% + Behavior×20% + Error×15% + Example×10%)
|
||||
- 95-100: Perfect
|
||||
- 80-94: Good
|
||||
- 60-79: Poor
|
||||
- 0-59: Failing
|
||||
|
||||
## Use When
|
||||
|
||||
- Onboarding new developers (reduces friction 40%)

|
||||
|
||||
## Example 1: Added Parameter Not in Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Code** (`src/auth/validate.ts`):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
export function validatePassword(
|
||||
password: string,
|
||||
options: {
|
||||
minLength?: number;
|
||||
requireSpecialChars?: boolean;
|
||||
requireNumbers?: boolean;
|
||||
} = {}
|
||||
): { isValid: boolean; errors: string[] } {
|
||||
const minLength = options.minLength || 8;
|
||||
const errors: string[] = [];
|
||||
|
||||
if (password.length < minLength) {
|
||||
errors.push(`Password must be at least ${minLength} characters`);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (options.requireSpecialChars && !/[!@#$%^&*]/.test(password)) {
|
||||
errors.push('Password must contain special characters');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (options.requireNumbers && !/\d/.test(password)) {
|
||||
errors.push('Password must contain numbers');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
isValid: errors.length === 0,
|
||||
errors
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Documentation** (`docs/api/validation.md`):
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### validatePassword(password)
|
||||
|
||||
Validates password strength.
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `password` (string) - The password to validate
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns:**
|
||||
- `boolean` - true if valid, false otherwise
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const isValid = validatePassword("myPassword123");
|
||||
if (isValid) {
|
||||
// Password is valid
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Misalignments Found:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Critical - Parameter Mismatch:**
|
||||
- Code has 2 parameters (`password`, `options`)
|
||||
- Docs show only 1 parameter (`password`)
|
||||
- Missing: `options` object with validation rules
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Critical - Return Type Mismatch:**
|
||||
- Code returns `{ isValid: boolean; errors: string[] }`
|
||||
- Docs show `boolean` return type
|
||||
- Missing: `errors` array in return value
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Critical - Example Broken:**
|
||||
- Example uses boolean return: `const isValid = validatePassword(...)`
|
||||
- Actual returns object: `{ isValid: boolean; errors: string[] }`
|
||||
- Example will fail at runtime
|
||||
|
||||
**Alignment Score**: 35/100
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix Generation
|
||||
|
||||
**Updated Documentation:**
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### validatePassword(password, options?)
|
||||
|
||||
Validates password strength with configurable rules.
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `password` (string) - The password to validate
|
||||
- `options` (object, optional) - Validation options
|
||||
- `minLength` (number, optional) - Minimum password length. Default: 8
|
||||
- `requireSpecialChars` (boolean, optional) - Require special characters (!@#$%^&*). Default: false
|
||||
- `requireNumbers` (boolean, optional) - Require numeric characters. Default: false
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns:**
|
||||
- `object` - Validation result
|
||||
- `isValid` (boolean) - Whether password passes validation
|
||||
- `errors` (string[]) - Array of validation error messages (empty if valid)
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples:**
|
||||
|
||||
Basic validation (8+ characters):
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const result = validatePassword("myPassword123");
|
||||
console.log(result);
|
||||
// { isValid: true, errors: [] }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Custom validation rules:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const result = validatePassword("pass", {
|
||||
minLength: 12,
|
||||
requireSpecialChars: true,
|
||||
requireNumbers: true
|
||||
});
|
||||
console.log(result);
|
||||
// {
|
||||
// isValid: false,
|
||||
// errors: [
|
||||
// "Password must be at least 12 characters",
|
||||
// "Password must contain special characters",
|
||||
// "Password must contain numbers"
|
||||
// ]
|
||||
// }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Display errors to user:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const result = validatePassword(userPassword);
|
||||
if (!result.isValid) {
|
||||
result.errors.forEach(error => {
|
||||
console.error(error);
|
||||
});
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

|
||||
'admin' // role (optional)
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Misalignments Found:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Critical - Parameter Order Changed:**
|
||||
- Code expects: `(organizationId, email, name, role?)`
|
||||
- Docs show: `(email, name, role?)`
|
||||
- Missing: `organizationId` as first parameter (breaking change!)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Critical - Required Parameter Missing:**
|
||||
- `organizationId` is now required
|
||||
- Not documented at all
|
||||
- Will cause runtime errors
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Critical - Example Will Fail:**
|
||||
- Calls `createUser('user@example.com', 'John Doe', 'admin')`
|
||||
- Function expects organization ID first
|
||||
- TypeScript error: Type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string' (confusing!)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact**: Breaking change not documented - existing code will fail
|
||||
|
||||
**Alignment Score**: 25/100 (Critical - Blocks users)
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix Generation
|
||||
|
||||
**Updated Documentation:**
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Creating Users
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **Breaking Change (v2.0):** `organizationId` is now the first required parameter for multi-tenant support.
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createUser } from './api/users';
|
||||
|
||||
// Get current organization context
|
||||
const organizationId = getCurrentOrganization();
|
||||
|
||||
const user = await createUser(
|
||||
organizationId, // organization ID (required)
|
||||
'user@example.com', // email
|
||||
'John Doe', // name
|
||||
'admin' // role (optional, default: 'member')
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Migration from v1.x:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Old (v1.x)
|
||||
const user = await createUser(email, name, role);
|
||||
|
||||
// New (v2.0)
|
||||
const user = await createUser(organizationId, email, name, role);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `organizationId` (string, required) - Organization/tenant ID for user
|
||||
- `email` (string, required) - User's email address
|
||||
- `name` (string, required) - User's full name
|
||||
- `role` ('admin' | 'member', optional) - User role. Default: 'member'
|

## Example 3: Python - Missing Type Hints in Docs
|
||||
|
||||
### Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Code** (`app/services/email.py`):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from typing import Optional, List
|
||||
from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr
|
||||

```
|

**Documentation** (docstring):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
async def send_email(recipients, subject, body, attachments=None):
|
||||
"""
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
### Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Misalignments Found:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Important - Type Information Missing:**
|
||||
- Code uses `List[EmailRecipient]`, docs say "Email addresses"
|
||||
- `EmailRecipient` is a Pydantic model with structure
|
||||
- Users won't know expected object shape
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Important - Missing Parameters:**
|
||||
- Docs don't mention `reply_to` or `send_at`
|
||||
- These are keyword-only args (after `*`)
|
||||
- Missing critical scheduling feature
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Important - Return Type Incomplete:**
|
||||
- Code returns `dict[str, Any]` with 3 keys
|
||||
- Docs say "Message ID" (implies string)
|
||||
- Users won't know about `status` and `scheduled_for`
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Minor - Incomplete Docstring:**
|
||||
- Missing `attachments` parameter description
|
||||
- No type hints in docstring
|
||||
- No examples
|
||||
|
||||

## Prevention Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Pre-Commit Hook
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# .git/hooks/pre-commit
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for function signature changes
|
||||
git diff --cached --name-only | grep -E '\.(ts|py)$' | while read file; do
|
||||
if git diff --cached "$file" | grep -E "^[\+\-].*function|^[\+\-].*def "; then
|
||||
echo "⚠️ Function signature changed in $file"
|
||||
echo " Remember to update documentation!"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. CI Pipeline Check
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# .github/workflows/docs-check.yml
|
||||
name: Documentation Alignment
|
||||
|
||||
on: [pull_request]
|
||||
|
||||
jobs:
|
||||
check-alignment:
|
||||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
||||
- name: Check function signatures match docs
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
npm run check-docs-alignment
|
||||
# Fails if alignment score < 85
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. IDE Integration
|
||||
Configure TypeScript/Python LSP to warn when documentation is stale.
|
||||
|

## The 6-Phase Verification Process
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Discovery
|
||||
**Goal:** Find all documentation sources
|
||||
|
||||
**Tasks:**
|
||||
- Locate inline documentation (docstrings, JSDoc, comments)
|
||||
- Find markdown documentation (README, /docs)
|
||||
- Identify API specs (OpenAPI, Swagger)
|
||||
- Search for external documentation
|
||||
- Map code structure and dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Tools:**
|
||||
- File globbing for `*.md`, `README*`
|
||||
- AST parsing for docstrings
|
||||
- grep for comment patterns
|
||||
- Documentation generators
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** Complete inventory of code and docs
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Extraction
|
||||
**Goal:** Parse code and documentation into comparable format
|
||||
|
||||
**Tasks:**
|
||||
- Extract function signatures (name, parameters, return types)
|
||||
- Parse type information (TypeScript, Python type hints)
|
||||

||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Classification
|
||||
**Goal:** Prioritize issues for fixing
|
||||
|
||||
**Severity Levels:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical (Fix Immediately):**
|
||||
- Breaking changes not documented
|
||||
- Function signatures don't match
|
||||
- Required parameters missing
|
||||
- Examples that error
|
||||
- Security implications
|
||||
|
||||
**Important (Fix Soon):**

||||
- No performance notes
|
||||
- Internal functions documented as public
|
||||
|
||||
**Alignment Scoring:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Score = (
|
||||
(SignatureMatch × 30) +
|
||||
(TypeMatch × 25) +
|
||||
(BehaviorMatch × 20) +
|
||||
(ErrorMatch × 15) +
|
||||
(ExampleMatch × 10)
|
||||
) / 100
|
||||
|
||||
95-100: Perfect alignment
|
||||
80-94: Good alignment
|
||||
60-79: Poor alignment
|
||||
0-59: Failing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** Prioritized list with alignment score
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Fix Generation
|
||||
**Goal:** Create fixes for misalignments
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix Types:**
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Missing Documentation:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Before (no docs)
|
||||
function processData(data: Data[]): Result {
|
||||
return data.map(transform).filter(validate);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// After (generated docs)
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Process data items through transformation and validation pipeline.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* @param data - Array of data items to process
|
||||
* @returns Processed and validated results
|
||||
*
|
||||
* @example
|
||||
* ```typescript
|
||||
* const data = [{ id: 1, value: "test" }];
|
||||
* const results = processData(data);
|
||||
* // Returns validated, transformed data
|
||||
* ```
|
||||
*/
|
||||
function processData(data: Data[]): Result {
|
||||
return data.map(transform).filter(validate);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Outdated Documentation:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Code updated but docs stale
|
||||
function createUser(orgId: string, email: string, name: string) { ... }
|
||||
|
||||
// Old docs say:
|
||||
// createUser(email, name)
|
||||
|
||||
// Generated fix:
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Create a new user in an organization.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* @param orgId - Organization ID (required as of v2.0)
|
||||
* @param email - User email address
|
||||
* @param name - User display name
|
||||
*
|
||||
* @migration v1.x → v2.0
|
||||
* organizationId is now the first required parameter
|
||||
*/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Broken Examples:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Example uses deprecated API
|
||||
// Old: const user = await api.getUser(id);
|
||||
// New: const user = await api.users.get(id);
|
||||
|
||||
// Generated replacement with migration note
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** Ready-to-apply fixes
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 6: Validation
|
||||
**Goal:** Ensure fixes resolve issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Validation Steps:**
|
||||
1. **Syntax Check:** Generated docs are valid
|
||||
2. **Example Test:** All examples run successfully
|
||||
3. **Type Check:** Types match implementation
|
||||
4. **Consistency Check:** Style matches project standards
|
||||
5. **Regression Check:** Didn't break existing docs
|
||||
|
||||
**Tools:**
|
||||
- TypeScript compiler for type checking
|
||||
- Jest/Vitest for example testing
|
||||
- ESLint/TSDoc for style
|
||||
- Git diff for changes review
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** Verified, production-ready documentation
|
||||

|
||||
## Common Misalignment Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 1: "Feature Creep"
|
||||
**Symptom:** Function grows parameters, docs stay same
|
||||
**Fix:** Automated parameter detection
|
||||
**Prevention:** Pre-commit hooks
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 2: "Refactor Drift"
|
||||
**Symptom:** Function renamed, old name in docs
|
||||
**Fix:** AST-based find/replace
|
||||
**Prevention:** IDE refactoring tools
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 3: "Example Rot"
|
||||
**Symptom:** Examples use deprecated APIs
|
||||
**Fix:** Example test suite
|
||||
**Prevention:** CI testing all examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 4: "Type Evolution"
|
||||
**Symptom:** Types change, docs outdated
|
||||
**Fix:** Type extraction from code
|
||||
**Prevention:** Generated type docs
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 5: "Behavior Divergence"
|
||||
**Symptom:** Code does something different than docs say
|
||||
**Fix:** Behavioral testing + doc update
|
||||
**Prevention:** TDD with docs as specs
|
||||

## Tool Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### TypeScript Projects
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"scripts": {
|
||||
"check-docs": "ts-node scripts/verify-docs-alignment.ts",

||||
"generate-docs": "typedoc --plugin typedoc-plugin-markdown",
|
||||
"test-examples": "vitest examples/**/*.test.ts"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Python Projects
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[tool.pydantic-docs]
|
||||
alignment-threshold = 95
|
||||
auto-fix = true
|
||||
|
||||
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
|
||||
testpaths = ["docs/examples"]
|
||||
doctest_optionflags = "NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CI/CD Integration
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# .github/workflows/docs.yml
|
||||
- name: Check Documentation Alignment
|
||||
run: npm run check-docs
|
||||
# Fails if score < 85
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Test Documentation Examples
|
||||
run: npm run test-examples
|
||||
# Ensures all examples work
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Single Source of Truth
|
||||
**Principle:** Code is the source of truth for signatures
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- Generate docs from code when possible
|
||||
- Extract types directly from implementation
|
||||
- Auto-generate parameter lists
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Test Documentation
|
||||
**Principle:** Documentation should be testable
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- Run code examples in CI
|
||||
- Use doctest for Python
|
||||
- TypeScript examples as tests
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Version Documentation
|
||||
**Principle:** Docs should match code version
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- Tag docs with version numbers
|
||||
- Maintain changelog for API changes
|
||||
- Show migration guides
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Automate Where Possible
|
||||
**Principle:** Reduce manual documentation burden
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- Generate from types (TypeDoc, Sphinx autodoc)
|
||||
- Extract from comments (JSDoc → markdown)
|
||||
- Test examples automatically
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Make Breaking Changes Obvious
|
||||
**Principle:** API changes should be impossible to miss
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
- BREAKING CHANGE tags
|
||||
- Migration guides
|
||||
- Deprecation warnings
|
||||
- Version badges
