Install once, document forever. Auto-updates all your documentation from your code so they never go stale.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Doctective after wasting one too many hours debugging issues caused by outdated docs. Imagine this: Want to use a new library so you follow the documentation, it doesn't work, and then you discover the code changed 3 months ago but nobody updated the docs. The worst part? AI coding assistants are now reading these stale docs too, generating broken code based on outdated information. So I built something simple: connect your GitHub repo, and Doctective watches every PR
This is great! Have you also considered the idea of creating a vscode plugin that will update docs alongside the PRs on commit? Like how huskey has precommit checks, this could essentially verify docs are up to date when pushing the code?
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.
The claim of "documents that never go outdated" is bold.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?
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?
