DocuGardener

Pre-push documentation drift detection for VS Code.

What it does

DocuGardener analyses your staged changes before you push and flags documentation that is out of sync with the code — inline, in your editor. Results appear as VS Code diagnostics with quick-fix actions so you can open or create the relevant doc without leaving the IDE.

Requirements

A DocuGardener account (free tier available at docugardener.dev). Generate a plugin API key under Settings → Integrations → VS Code Plugin.

Quick Setup

Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and run DocuGardener: Enter API Key, then paste the key from the web app.
Stage your changes with git add, then run DocuGardener: Check Drift Now from the Command Palette or click the status bar item.

Commands

Command	Description
`DocuGardener: Check Drift Now`	Run a drift check against your staged changes
