A Documentation Automation Script is an automation script that programmatically verifies, generates, or maintains documentation to ensure consistency and reduce manual effort.

• AKA: Documentation Bot, Documentation Automation Tool, Documentation CI Script.
• Context:
  • It can typically verify Documentation Claims through documentation automation script validation.
  • It can typically generate Documentation Updates via documentation automation script extraction.
  • It can typically maintain Documentation Consistency using documentation automation script standardization.
  • It can often detect Documentation Problems through documentation automation script analysis.
  • It can often enforce Documentation Standards via documentation automation script rule engine.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Single-Purpose Documentation Automation Script to being a Multi-Purpose Documentation Automation Script, depending on its documentation automation script functionality.
  • It can range from being a Lightweight Documentation Automation Script to being a Comprehensive Documentation Automation Script, depending on its documentation automation script complexity.
  • It can range from being a Standalone Documentation Automation Script to being an Integrated Documentation Automation Script, depending on its documentation automation script deployment.
  • It can range from being a Reactive Documentation Automation Script to being a Proactive Documentation Automation Script, depending on its documentation automation script trigger.
  • ...
  • It can multiply Documentation Productivity through documentation automation script efficiency.
  • It can enhance Documentation Reliability via documentation automation script consistency.
  • It can accelerate Documentation Feedback using documentation automation script continuous checking.
  • It can amplify Documentation Coverage through documentation automation script systematic verification.
  • It can increase Developer Velocity via documentation automation script reduced friction.
