RFC: Autonomous Documentation Alignment

[aygp-dr]

Motivation

• Documentation drift is universal across 60+ repos
• Manual alignment is cost-prohibitive ($0.47 × 60 = $28.20 per cycle)
• Agent accounts (aygp-dr) enable safe automation testing

Safety Guarantees

1. Scoped Permissions: GitHub token limited to public repos only
2. Deterministic Changes: Only docs/README alignment, no logic changes
3. Audit Trail: Every change tracked via telemetry + git history
4. Rollback Ready: All commits use conventional format for easy reversion

Experimental Design

• Agent account separation (aygp-dr vs human accounts)
• Public repos only (no private data exposure)
• Documentation-only scope (no code modifications)
• Telemetry collection for cost/benefit analysis

Success Metrics

• Cost per documentation sync
• Error rate by repository type
• Time saved vs manual updates
• Documentation consistency score

Risk Mitigation

• No direct pushes to protected branches
• Skip repos with CI/CD failures
• Maximum cost circuit breakers
• Human review of telemetry before expanding scope

Future Work

• Expand to issue triage automation
• Script standardization across repos
• Automated dependency updates (documentation only)
