# Diátaxis Documentation Audit
Audit existing documentation against the [Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/) framework to identify mixed quadrants, gaps, and quality issues.

**Key principle**: These quadrants must remain distinct. Blurring boundaries is the most common documentation problem.
## When to Use
- Reviewing documentation that feels unclear or difficult to use
- Assessing documentation quality before a release or handoff
- Preparing for a documentation reorganization
- Onboarding to an unfamiliar project and evaluating its docs
## Required Inputs
1. **Documentation path(s)**: Files or directories to audit
2. **Scope** (optional): Full audit or quick spot-check
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Inventory
Read all documentation files in the target path. For each file, record:
- File path
- Apparent intent (what quadrant it seems to target)
- Length and structure
### Phase 2: Classify
For each document or section, classify using these questions:
| Question | If Yes → |
|----------|----------|
| Is it a guided learning experience building to a result? | **Tutorial** |
| Does it solve
