DocDrift

DocDrift is a web app (with a GitHub/GitLab app) that detects when your documentation no longer matches your code. It watches pull requests, commits, and releases, then flags “doc drift” by mapping code changes to likely impacted docs (README, API refs, runbooks) and opening a suggested doc PR. It’s a combination traditional + AI app: rules and repo graphing handle the obvious links, while an LLM proposes specific edits, examples, and updated snippets. The product is intentionally narrow: it doesn’t try to be a full documentation platform. It plugs into what teams already use (Markdown, Docusaurus, MkDocs, OpenAPI) and focuses on one painful outcome—broken onboarding and support tickets caused by outdated docs. You get a dashboard showing drift risk by folder/service, a weekly report, and a “docs required” check that can block merges when drift is high.
