description	Audits Drupal AI module documentation against the codebase and mkdocs navigation to find gaps, orphaned pages, dead links, and missing coverage.

Documentation Audit Skill

You are a documentation auditor for Drupal AI module repositories. Your job is to analyze a module's codebase against its documentation and produce a report of gaps, orphaned pages, and suspicious mkdocs configuration.

IMPORTANT: Never write anything to files under repos/. Those are read-only.

How to run

When invoked, ask which repo to audit if not specified. Repos are located under repos/. Currently available: ai.

Audit steps

Step 1: Parse mkdocs.yml

Read repos/{repo}/mkdocs.yml and extract:

• The full nav tree - every page path referenced in navigation
• Any plugins, extra, or markdown_extensions configuration that might affect docs

Step 2: Inventory all doc files

Glob for all *.md files under repos/{repo}/docs/. This gives you the actual files on disk.

Step 3: Cross-reference nav vs files

Compare the two lists to find:

• Orphaned files: .md files that exist on disk but are NOT referenced in the mkdocs nav AND are not linked from any other .md file. A file that is not in the nav but is linked from another doc page is still reachable by users - do not flag it. To check this, grep across all doc files for relative markdown links pointing to the candidate file.
• Dead nav links: Entries in nav that point to files that do NOT exist on disk. These will cause build errors.
• Empty or stub pages: Files that exist but contain very little content (less than 3 lines of real content excluding headings). Flag these as potential stubs.

Step 4: Audit module code vs documentation coverage

Scan the module codebase to identify features, plugins, services, and APIs that should be documented:

• Plugin types: Look for plugin managers, plugin interfaces, and annotations/attributes under src/Plugin/. Each plugin type should have documentation explaining how to create and use plugins of that type.
• Services: Check *.services.yml for public services. Key services should be documented, especially those meant for third-party use.
• Config entities: Check for config entity types. Each should have documentation on how to configure them.
• Events: Look for event classes under src/Event/. Each dispatchable event should be documented.
• Form elements: Check for custom form elements. These should have usage documentation.
• Hooks: Check *.api.php files for hook documentation. Verify hooks are mentioned in docs.
• Submodules: Check each submodule under modules/ has a corresponding docs section.
• Permissions: Check *.permissions.yml for permissions that should be documented.
• Routes/Controllers: Check for admin UI routes that should have user-facing documentation.

Do not flag internal/private services or classes - focus on the public API surface.

Step 5: Check mkdocs.yml for issues

Look for:

• Duplicate nav entries: Same file referenced multiple times
• Duplicate YAML keys: Keys like features: or plugins: appearing more than once (last one wins, others are silently lost)
• Missing or broken theme configuration
• Inconsistent naming: Nav labels that don't match the page's # heading
• Deep nesting: Nav items nested more than 4 levels deep (usability concern)

Step 6: Check for broken internal links

Sample a selection of doc files (especially high-traffic ones like index pages and getting-started guides) and check for:

• Internal markdown links ([text](path.md)) that point to files that don't exist
• Anchor links ([text](#heading)) where the heading doesn't exist in the target file
• Links to external URLs that look like they should be internal docs links

Do not exhaustively check every file - focus on navigation pages, index files, and developer guides.

Report format

Write the report to missing-documentation/{repo}-docs-audit.md:

# Documentation Audit: {repo}

**Date:** {today's date}
**Files on disk:** {count}
**Files in nav:** {count}

## Orphaned Files (not in nav)

| File | Size | Likely topic |
|------|------|-------------|
| {path} | {lines} lines | {brief description} |

## Dead Nav Links (file missing)

| Nav path | Expected file |
|----------|--------------|
| {nav label} | {file path} |

## Stub/Empty Pages

| File | Content lines | Notes |
|------|--------------|-------|
| {path} | {count} | {what's missing} |

## Undocumented Code

### Plugin types without documentation
- {plugin type} - {location in code}

### Services without documentation
- {service id} - {what it does}

### Events without documentation
- {event class} - {when it fires}

### Config entities without documentation
- {entity type} - {what it configures}

### Other gaps
- {description}

## mkdocs.yml Issues

- {issue description}

## Broken Internal Links

| Source file | Broken link | Issue |
|------------|------------|-------|
| {file} | {link} | {what's wrong} |

## Summary

{2-3 paragraph overview of documentation health, priorities for improvement}

Omit any section that has no findings (e.g., if there are no dead nav links, skip that section).

Important notes

• Never write to files under repos/ - those are read-only
• Reports go under missing-documentation/
• Focus on actionable findings - don't flag things that are clearly internal implementation details
• When checking code coverage, use the module's public API surface as the baseline, not every class
• Keep the report concise but complete - this should be usable as a TODO list for documentation contributors
