Description

### πŸ“š Package Specification Audit Report

**Date**: 2026-09-14
**Total Packages**: 37
**Packages with Specs**: 36
**Coverage**: 97%

---

### Coverage Summary

All 36 packages containing non-test Go source have a `README.md`. One package, `pkg/workflowcontract`, contains only a test file and no README.

| Status | Package | Notes |
|--------|---------|-------|
| βœ… | 36 packages | Spec present, terminology and import paths consistent |
| ❌ | `workflowcontract` | No `README.md`; package contains only `daily_performance_summary_workflow_contract_test.go` (a contract test with zero exported non-test symbols) |

---

### 🚨 Missing Specifications

| Package | Source Files | Exported Symbols | Priority |
|---------|------------|-----------------|----------|
| `workflowcontract` | 1 (test-only) | 0 | Low |

**Recommendation**: `pkg/workflowcontract` currently holds a single `_test.go` file (`TestDailyPerformanceSummaryUsesStableWindowMetrics`) that asserts stable tokens in `.github/workflows/daily-performance-summary.md`. It exposes no public API, so a full spec-extractor README is optional β€” but a short `README.md` stating the package's purpose (pinning workflow-source contract tokens) would prevent confusion for future contributors browsing `pkg/`. Low priority; add via spec-extractor or a short manual note when convenient.

---

### ⚠️ Stale Specifications

None detected. This repository checkout is shallow (single commit), so git-history-based staleness comparison between README and source commits was not possible. As a proxy, README and source file modification timestamps were compared for all 36 documented packages β€” all showed same-day timestamps with no lag.

---

### πŸ”„ Cross-Package Inconsistencies

None found.

- **Terminology**: Checked stdout/stderr diagnostic conventions across `console`, `logger`, `colorwriter`, `envutil`, `tty`, `testutil`, `cli`, and `workflow` specs β€” all consistently state diagnostics go to `stderr` and structured/machine-readable output goes to `stdout`.
- **Import paths**: All `github.com/github/gh-aw/pkg/*` references across READMEs resolve to real package directories.
- **Dependency declarations**: Spot-checked `stringutil`, `typeutil`, `errorutil`, `setutil`, and `sliceutil` β€” declared internal/external dependencies match actual Go imports.

---

### πŸ“Š Quality Scores

Spot-checked packages show healthy, well-structured specs (dedicated sections for API, dependencies, design decisions, usage examples). No completeness, accuracy, or consistency issues were found in the sampled packages.

| Package | Completeness | Accuracy | Consistency | Freshness | Overall |
|---------|-------------|----------|-------------|-----------|---------|
| `console` | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… Good |
| `colorwriter` | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… Good |
| `logger` | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… Good |
| `stringutil` | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… Good |
| `errorutil` | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… Good |
| `cli` | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… | βœ… Good |

---

### Action Items

- [ ] Optionally add a minimal `README.md` for `pkg/workflowcontract` describing its role as a workflow-source contract test package (no exported API to document)
- [ ] When opening a fix PR for this issue, include `Closes #` (or `Fixes`/`Resolves`) in the PR description.

Research direction

Read pkg/workflowcontract/daily_performance_summary_workflow_contract_test.go and the referenced .github/workflows/daily-performance-summary.md to understand the contract. Add pkg/workflowcontract/README.md describing that the package pins workflow-source contract tokens, then run the named test to confirm it still passes.
