# Review Documentation
How to periodically review and maintain the BlumeOps knowledge base.
## Quick Random Review
Select a random documentation card for review:
```bash
mise run doc-random
```
This displays a random card with a review checklist to guide your assessment.
## Review Checklist
When reviewing a documentation card, consider:
| Check | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| **Accuracy** | Is the information current and correct? |
| **Links** | Are wiki-links working? Should more be added? |
| **Scope** | Is the card appropriately sized (not too large/small)? |
| **Category** | Is it in the right section (reference/how-to/tutorial/explanation)? |
| **Frontmatter** | Are title and tags appropriate? |
| **Related** | Should it link to related cards? |
## Verify Deployed State
For service reference cards, verify the documentation matches reality:
### ArgoCD Apps (Kubernetes services)
Check if the app is synced and healthy:
```bash
argocd app get <app-name>
argocd app diff <app-name> # Show pending changes
```
If out of sync, either the docs are stale or a deployment is pending.
### Ansible Roles (indri services)
Check if the role applies idempotently (no changes needed):
```bash
mise run provision-indri -- --tags <role> --check --diff
```
If changes would be made, either the docs are stale or the host has drifted.
### Pulumi (Tailscale ACLs, DNS)
Check for drift:
```bash
# Tailscale ACLs
cd pulumi/tailscale && pulumi preview
# DNS (Gandi)
cd pulumi/gandi && pulumi preview
```
If changes are pending, investigate whether docs or infrastructure is stale.
## When to Review
Consider running `mise run doc-random` during:
- Start of work sessions (quick maintenance)
- After major infrastructure changes (verify docs reflect reality)
- When learning the system (random exploration)
## Making Changes
If a card needs updates:
1. Create a feature branch
2. Make the edits
3. Run `mise run doc-links` to verify links
4. Create a PR for review
