Implements four GitHub Actions workflows to prevent documentation drift through automated maintenance.

Workflows

Daily Documentation Updater (daily-doc-updater.yml)

  • Runs: Daily at 00:00 UTC
  • Reviews docs for accuracy, broken links, outdated references
  • Creates PRs when updates needed

Glossary Maintainer (glossary-maintainer.yml)

  • Trigger: Push to main with .md changes
  • Syncs AI_Glossary.md with terminology used in documentation
  • Adds missing terms, maintains alphabetical order

Documentation Unbloat (doc-unbloat.yml)

  • Runs: Weekly Sunday 00:00 UTC
  • Reduces verbosity, simplifies complex sentences
  • Targets ~15-20% word count reduction where applicable

Documentation Noob Tester (doc-noob-tester.yml)

  • Runs: Monthly on 1st at 00:00 UTC
  • Simulates beginner learning path
  • Creates issues (max 3-5) for genuine pain points

Structure

Each workflow comprises:

  • .yml - GitHub Actions configuration using github/gh-aw@v0.42.13
  • .md - Agent instructions with objectives, tasks, and guidelines

Follows existing pattern from issue-triage-agent.yml. All workflows support manual triggering via workflow_dispatch.

Documentation

Added .github/workflows/README.md documenting all workflows, schedules, and expected behavior.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Proposal: Add "Continuous Documentation" Agentic Workflow</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Feature Request

I propose implementing Continuous Documentation Workflows to automate the maintenance of this repository's documentation.

Proposed Workflows

I suggest adding the following agentic automations to github/workflows/:

  • Daily Documentation Updater (96% merge rate): Reviews and updates documentation to ensure accuracy.
  • Glossary Maintainer (100% merge rate): Keeps the glossary synchronized with codebase changes.
  • Documentation Unbloat (85% merge rate): Reviews and simplifies documentation by reducing verbosity.
  • Documentation Noob Tester: Simulates a new user journey to identify confusing steps.

Impact

These workflows challenge conventional wisdom about AI-generated technical content. While human review remains essential, these agents provide a dramatically better baseline than the alternative (no docs at all), effectively solving documentation drift.
