<objective> Catch documentation that has drifted from the code - the failure that quietly misleads every new reader of a distributed project. Extract the checkable claims from the target docs and test each against the actual repo, then report each as accurate, stale, or unverifiable.

This is the docs-verifier engine only; the doc WRITER is collapsed out (DESIGN §2). cad-docs-verify never rewrites a doc - it produces the findings a human (or a later edit) acts on. </objective>

<execution_context> @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/cadence-core/workflows/docs-verify.md </execution_context>

<process> Run the verify workflow end-to-end. Only claim `stale` when the code actually contradicts the doc; when a claim cannot be checked mechanically, mark it `unverifiable` rather than guessing. Do not edit any doc. </process>

Appearance is cheap. Verification is the work. Cadence is for developers using Claude Code on software they will still own after the session ends. Claude can write a convincing plan, produce working code, and tell you the job is finished.
