• Stale Content Detection: Implements automated rules and quarterly scans to identify outdated or unreviewed content.
• Docs-as-Code Workflow: Establishes a PR-based workflow with automated checks and human reviews for documentation changes.
• Contributor Onboarding: Provides clear guidelines and processes for new documentation contributors.
• Use Case: When documentation grows large, this skill helps ensure that users always find up-to-date information by flagging and managing content that hasn't been reviewed or updated recently.
