Driftless

Your README is lying to your users.

Every PR makes your documentation a little less accurate. Nobody notices until a contributor follows outdated setup instructions, misses an environment variable, or spends hours debugging a problem caused by stale docs.

Driftless keeps your documentation aligned with reality.

Instead of relying on developers to manually update READMEs, Driftless analyzes your actual codebase, generates documentation from real project data, detects when docs drift from code, and helps you fix issues before they reach users.

What Driftless does

🚀 Generate READMEs from real code

Analyze package.json, environment variables, API routes, dependencies, CI workflows, and project structure to create documentation grounded in reality—not AI guesses.

🔍 Detect documentation drift

Track when code changes make your README inaccurate. Get drift scores, change insights, and early warnings before contributors run into problems.

🤖 Open Pull Requests automatically

Generate updated documentation, create a branch, commit changes, and open a GitHub PR with a single click.

⚡ Documentation CI

Add Driftless to your workflow and automatically catch stale documentation before it reaches production.

Why we built it

Code has tests, linters, CI pipelines, and monitoring.

Documentation has hope.

Driftless gives documentation the same feedback loop developers already expect from code.

Built for startups, open-source maintainers, and engineering teams that move fast but still want accurate documentation.
