Use when finishing any code change that modifies behavior, public API, CLI flags, config shape, defaults, error messages, or anything a reader-of-the-docs would model — before committing, pushing, or declaring "done." Forbids deferring doc updates to a follow-up commit, ticket, or "cleanup later.".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Docs-as-Definition-of-Done ## Overview Docs describe code **exactly, but at the conceptual level**. A reader of the markdown must get a faithful, current mental model of the code without reading the code. **Core principle:** A code change is **not done** until every documentation statement that the change invalidated has been updated **in the same logical task**. No "I'll fix the docs later." No separate doc-cleanup commits. No stub TODOs. **Why:** Stale docs are worse than missing docs. They confidently mislead readers — future-you, reviewers, new teammates, AI coding assistants loading them as context — into building on a model that no longer matches reality. Each stale statement silently compounds: every downstream decision made against it is already wrong. ## When to Use Invoke before you `git commit` / `git push` / say "done" for any change that touches: - Public API shape (signatures, return types, error types, exceptions raised) - CLI surface (commands, flags, defaults, exit codes) - Config shape (YAML / TOML / JSON keys, types, defaults, required/optional) - Behavior under any documented condition (retries, rate limits, timeouts, fallbacks) …

How to install
mdr add corvinlabs/corvinos/docs-as-definition-of-done@sha256:4908fcf14ee3022dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.459047e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
