Install once, document forever. Auto-updates all your documentation from your code so they never go stale.
This solves a very real, very painful problem.
Outdated docs now don't just slow teams down, they mislead AI tools too. Tying doc updates directly to PRs and making correctness the default is a smart approach.
We've seen a similar pattern while build Dashform, when tools fit naturally into existing workflows, adoption just works. Great launch, excited to follow Doctective!
For developers, first impressions matter. Is the installation and configuration sufficiently user-friendly? Can it quickly identify the project structure and provide clear, unobtrusive configuration recommendations, instead of forcing me to spend a lot of time adapting to its complex rules?
The claim of "documents that never go outdated" is bold. In actual use, when major code refactoring or deletion occurs, can it intelligently link and update or archive the corresponding document sections, avoiding "document ghosts" that reference invalid content?
How well does it integrate into existing development workflows (e.g., Git, CI/CD)? For example, can document updates be previewed and reviewed as part of a pull request, rather than modifying the main branch documents directly—only then can true "docs as code" collaboration be achieved.
Congrats on the launch — love how Doctective keeps docs in lockstep with every code change.
Congrats on the launch. This hits a very real pain point, especially now that both humans and AI depend so heavily on docs being accurate. Tying documentation health directly to PRs feels like a practical, low friction way to keep things honest.
Great project. Is there an integration with Confluence? So that documentation can be created there automatically?
