Growing Docs

Overview

A demand signal — not a sense of completeness — is what earns a new doc. bootstrapping-docs creates the smallest high-leverage doc set and deliberately stops; this skill is the other half of that bargain. When reality asks for more — the same fact re-derived, an incident with no runbook — the doc set grows by exactly the artifact that absorbs the signal, and no further.

Route first: gap or drift?

Drift tooling audits claims that exist; a pure gap has nothing to flag. Do not wait for a drift report to legitimize growth — it never will.
