Projects Without Description

New folder → automatic documentation check

A robot librarian finds a project folder without a card and returns it to the system

In short

Code and working folders appear faster than documentation, and a month later, it's unclear why a project exists.

Outcome

A weekly read-only reconciliation finds projects without a card, status, or next action and reports only discrepancies.

How the automation runs

Trigger

Weekly schedule or manual project audit

Automation steps

  1. Get a list of project folders and cards in the knowledge base
  2. Match them by exact path and normalized name
  3. Exclude archives and pre-described noise
  4. Send an alert only if orphans are found

Human check

A person decides whether to create a card, archive the folder, or add a justified exception.

Outcome

A weekly read-only reconciliation finds projects without a card, status, or next action and reports only discrepancies.
