Consolidates redundant docs while preserving valuable content; keeps docs truthful after changes. Two modes. (1) POST-CHANGE GOVERNANCE — when code, scripts, config, env vars, ports, paths, deployment, auth, tests, or a documented procedure changed; also "which docs are now wrong", "check docs for inconsistencies", "过时的命令/路径", "文档同步". Use it even when the user mentions only the change and never the docs — updating them is part of the change, not optional cleanup. (2) CONSOLIDATION —…

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 Cleaner

Documentation goes wrong in two different ways, and they need different work.

**It rots.** Something changed — a port, a path, a procedure, a decision — and the docs
still describe the old world. The field's name for this is *documentation rot* or *version
drift*: artifacts fall out of sync one at a time until people stop trusting the set.

**It sprawls.** The same topic accumulates three files, each partly right, none
authoritative.

Both trace to one root cause: **a fact was written down in more places than it was
defined.** Everything below follows from fixing that.

## Core principle (governs both modes)

**Critical evaluation before deletion. Never blindly delete.** Analyze each section's
unique value before proposing removal. The goal is reduction without information loss.

This governs every deletion-shaped action in this skill, not just consolidation: archiving
a document, dropping a derived value, and removing a cross-reference are all deletions and
all owe the same analysis first. "It looked redundant" is not that analysis.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/docs-cleaner@sha256:236029537d3d589e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.a434746, 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.
