Deterministic documentation governance CLI for AI-assisted software teams.
Documentation
# docpact

`docpact` is a Rust-first standalone CLI for diff-driven AI documentation drift checks.

It is meant to be installed as a CLI and used in local workflows and CI.

Current distribution status:

- not published to crates.io yet
- usable today via `cargo run` or `cargo install --path .`
- intended future distribution: published crate and release binaries

## Quick Start

Install from source for now:

```bash
cargo install --path .
```

Create `.docpact/config.yaml` in the target repository, then run:

```bash
docpact validate-config --root /path/to/repo
docpact validate-config --root /path/to/repo --strict
docpact lint --root /path/to/repo --files src/api/client.ts,README.md
```

The new project also standardizes on one reserved config entrypoint:

- `.docpact/config.yaml`

## Current State

This repository currently contains a working Phase 1 core:

- changed-path collection from explicit files or git diff sources
- workspace/repo impact-rule loading
- trigger-to-required-doc matching
- key Markdown and YAML metadata checks
- warning vs blocking exit behavior
- text and JSON-capable reporting surfaces

It is not yet the full planned product. Higher-order drift detection, autofix, richer config validation, an official GitHub Action wrapper, and published package distribution remain future work.
