```

### 2. Check Completeness

**Module Coverage:**
```bash
# List modules
modules=$(ls -d source/*/)

# Check each module for README
for module in $modules; do
  if [ ! -f "$module/README.md" ]; then
    echo "Missing: $module/README.md"
  fi
done
```

**Feature Coverage:**
```bash
# List commands
commands=$(ls .claude/commands/*.md)

# Check if documented in main docs
# Search for references in user guides
```

### 3. Validate Links

**Internal Links:**
```bash
# Extract all markdown links
grep -r "\[.*\](.*\.md" docs/

# Check if target files exist
# Verify section anchors
```

```bash
# Extract URLs
grep -r "https://" docs/

# Test each URL (if online)
# Report broken links
```

### 4. Check Formatting

**Markdown Linting:**

# Test commands (if safe)
```

**Information Currency:**
- Check dates mentioned
- Verify statistics (class/property counts)
- Confirm version numbers
- Validate feature status
