  • OutputPost drift digest to SlackSlack

What it does

Keeps your hosted ReadMe.com documentation honest. It fetches the published doc pages, extracts the code samples, runs them against the latest released version of your package, and sends a Slack digest of exactly which pages have drifted — with the page title and the failing line.

When to use it

Use it when your canonical docs live in ReadMe.com rather than the repo, and a new package release can silently invalidate the examples your customers follow.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule starts the check.
  2. 2The workflow pulls all published pages and their code blocks from the ReadMe.com API.
  3. 3It installs the latest published package version in a clean sandbox.
  4. 4Each extracted snippet runs in the sandboxed shell against that version.
  5. 5A filter keeps only the pages with at least one failing snippet.
  6. 6A single Slack message lists the broken pages with deep links and error excerpts; if everything passes, it posts a short all-clear.
