FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Documentation Coverage Checker assesses README, architecture docs, runbooks, and API documentation coverage with Diátaxis framework guidance.
What affects the result most?
Documentation types: reference (API docs), tutorials (step-by-step), how-to guides, explanations (concepts). Diátaxis framework: 4 quadrants — learning-oriented, goal-oriented, information-oriented, understanding-oriented. Coverage gaps: missing runbooks, no local dev guide, undocumented environment vars, stale READMEs.
How should I use the result?
Treat the tool's output as a first-pass check, not a proof of correctness. A clean pass means no issues in the patterns this tool recognizes; a failure points to a specific problem you can investigate in your source. The underlying spec is the authoritative source for edge cases.
