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
