Documentation and Knowledge Maintenance
Documentation is part of the delivery lifecycle. A feature that changes an API, an operating procedure, or a support path also changes what the team needs to know.
Route maintenance through the same controls
A pipeline can receive a documentation task from a webhook, an issue tracker, or another pipeline. An agent can inspect the source files and connected work items, propose an update, and return a typed artifact for review. A human-in-the-loop gate can pause the change before it is written or published.
The repository, issue tracker, filesystem, shell, and HTTP operations available to the workflow depend on the connector instances you configure. Farna Control supplies the governed run, not a universal documentation crawler or knowledge base.
Keep the source and decision together
The run record captures what the agent was asked to change, the output it produced, the checks that ran, and the approval decision. When a documentation update is rejected, the workflow can return the task to triage or request another pass, according to the graph you define.
For teams maintaining internal knowledge, the same pattern can review operational notes, runbooks, and generated evidence. The connected system remains the source of truth for the published content.
Current scope and preview boundaries
Webhook and agent-signal triggers, schemas, evaluation gates, human review, and run snapshots are current platform capabilities. Publishing to a particular documentation system is connector-dependent. A pipeline node that dispatches work to an external CI runner is still in development, so do not treat a CI job as an automatic publishing mechanism.
Where to go next
- Existing Agent Runtimes: use the tools and runtimes you already operate
- Human-in-the-Loop: review documentation before publication
- Pipelines: compose governed steps and gates

Farna Control With Your Existing Agent Runtimes
Agents run in your infrastructure; Farna Control dispatches to them, gates the handoffs, and records the result. It adds governance around the runtime you already have.
