Documentation Agents

Docs that ship with the code that changed them

AutoDevOps makes documentation a side-effect of shipping code. READMEs, API references, ADRs, and runbooks update in the same PR — reviewable, auditable, and never silently stale.

Doc workflow config

hooks:
  post-merge:
    - run: doc-updater
      targets:

        - docs/api
        - docs/adr

The problem

Stale docs are a slow-motion incident

Same workflow as code

Doc updates happen in the commit or PR that changed the behavior. No separate backlog ticket.

Reviewable before merge

Generated docs go through the same approval flow as code changes — not silent background rewrites.

Template-aware generation

Agent context, repo structure, and team templates produce docs that match your existing artifact format.

Artifacts

The docs your team actually depends on

READMEs and onboarding

Setup guides, workflow docs, and getting-started content that stays current with actual project behavior.

API references

Contract-facing docs update automatically when schemas, routes, or integration behavior change.

ADRs, release notes, runbooks

Capture rationale and operational impact while the diff context is still fresh — not weeks later.

Who benefits

Engineering leads

Onboarding docs and runbooks that reflect what actually shipped — not what shipped three sprints ago.

Security teams

Runbooks and incident response docs under the same review flow as code. No ad-hoc wiki edits.

Platform engineers

Templates and policy-enforced workflows so generated docs match your team's existing format and standards.

Stop treating docs as a separate workstream.

Same approval, same telemetry, same deployment controls as the rest of your engineering workflow.
