Validation Process
1. Scan Documentation
# Find all documentation files find docs -name "*.md" find source -name "README.md" find .claude -name "*.md" # Count documentation docs_count=$(find docs -name "*.md" | wc -l) module_count=$(find source -name "README.md" | wc -l)
2. Check Completeness
Module Coverage:
# List modules
modules=$(ls -d source/*/)
# Check each module for README
for module in $modules; do
if [ ! -f "$module/README.md" ]; then
echo "Missing: $module/README.md"
fi
done
Feature Coverage:
# List commands commands=$(ls .claude/commands/*.md) # Check if documented in main docs # Search for references in user guides
3. Validate Links
Internal Links:
# Extract all markdown links grep -r "\[.*\](.*\.md" docs/ # Check if target files exist # Verify section anchors
External Links:
# Extract URLs grep -r "https://" docs/ # Test each URL (if online) # Report broken links
4. Check Formatting
Markdown Linting:
- •Verify header hierarchy
- •Check code block languages
- •Validate list formatting
- •Ensure table alignment
- •Check for common errors
5. Analyze Content
Code Examples:
# Extract code blocks # Check syntax # Verify paths exist # Test commands (if safe)
Information Currency:
- •Check dates mentioned
- •Verify statistics (class/property counts)
- •Confirm version numbers
- •Validate feature status
