Docs Cleaner
Consolidate redundant documentation while preserving all valuable content — merge overlapping files, reduce sprawl, and cut bloat without losing anything important.
Documentation sprawls until five files cover the same topic and nobody knows which is current. This playbook merges them into one source of truth without dropping real content.
Who it's for: developers, technical writers, documentation owners
Example
"Consolidate these overlapping docs" → A single merged document preserving all valuable content, with the redundant files cleaned up
