Use when the user asks whether docs are stale, missing, inconsistent with code, or need updates after code changes. Checks README files, setup guides, API docs, env docs, changelogs, examples, comments, generated docs, and user-facing instructions. This is not a general code review; it compares what the docs claim against what the code does.” [GitHub community (awesome-copilot) · upstream description ↗](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/f25421d3f1b8b3bb217f78a7c0567cf7ec117cd8/skills/docs-sync-audit/SKILL.md) Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - docs_drift.py checks command names, filesystem links and regex-derived env references; the definition requires manual confirmation and separates inferred gaps from confirmed drift. - Find setup commands, relative links and environment documentation that have drifted after a feature change. ### A good fit for - Find setup commands, relative links and environment documentation that have drifted after a feature change. - Record documentation surfaces surveyed but not deeply inspected instead of presenting a shallow audit as complete. ### Weigh up before choosing - The helper is heuristic: it merges package scripts across a repository, approximates imports and returns zero despite findings. It reads complete local env-file text even though only variable names are reported. - Source inspection only; no installation, authenticated operation, runtime benchmark or security certification was performed. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - skills/docs-sync-audit/SKILL.md - skills/docs-sync-audit/scripts/docs_drift.py - LICENSE - README.md ### Our findings - docs_drift.py checks command names, filesystem links and regex-derived env references; the definition requires manual confirmation and separates inferred gaps from confirmed drift. - Full-repository reviews inventory documentation surfaces before deeper inspection and explicitly list untouched surfaces; generated documentation not regenerated remains an identified residual risk. ### Not established by this review - Third-party instructions and helpers were not executed; service access, host compatibility and outcomes remain untested. - Not executed: it was not installed or run. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Add a skill to your workflow.

This short command follows the current upstream version; the review covers the revision shown above. Optional: install the reviewed revision Keeps the original source and installer version where recorded, while leaving your AI tools and installation scope for you to choose. npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/f25421d3f1b8b3bb217f78a7c0567cf7ec117cd8/skills/docs-sync-audit Copy reviewed-revision command ↗ - Install the pinned directory interactively and retain its referenced files; inspect the source before granting tool access. - Inventory the requested scope, inspect the Python helper before use and confirm every reported mismatch in both docs and implementation; list surfaces not deeply inspected. ### Before you start - Python standard library, repository read access and optional Git for tracked-file/history discovery ### Compatibility Agents supporting directory-based SKILL.md instructions ### Local instructions with workflow-dependent access - Reads repository files, potentially including local env files; the reviewed helper calls read-only Git commands and prints findings. ### Cost model Skill source is freely available under its stated licence; host, infrastructure and service usage may incur charges. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail.
