DocuMINT

Inspiration

Enterprise teams now ship software at machine speed with agentic dev tools, but governance is still static. Stale docs → AI hallucinations → security and compliance gaps. We wanted to turn documentation from a checkbox into living, AI-accessible infrastructure that stays aligned with code as it changes.

What it does

DocuMINT keeps your engineering docs continuously correct and compliant so humans and AI agents can build safely. AI-Accessible Documentation: Structured docs agents can parse and follow (reduces hallucinations). Real-Time Alignment: Policies & standards update automatically with code changes. Automated Governance: Continuous audit readiness without slowing delivery. Outcome: Every commit/merge ships with up-to-date, verifiable provenance—making repos agent-friendly.

How we built it

Uses alexandria documentation enforecment framework to identify codebase coverage. Enforce compliance (Vanta) Validate findings against SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or custom controls; map gaps directly to specific requirements. Reason (AWS Bedrock) and communicate risk based on coverage and policies. Close the loop — Continuous Governance Scan → Validate → Reason → Mint → Verify on every commit/deploy/new service. If coverage drops below 80%, we plan to notify owners.

Challenges we ran into

Keeping policy in sync with rapidly changing repos (avoiding doc drift). Generating docs that are precise and verifiable, not LLM guesswork. Defining coverage metrics that reflect real risk. Change management: building human-in-the-loop reviews developers accept.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Shift from 6-month audit prep cycles to continuous readiness. Maintained velocity while adding guardrails via automated workflows. AI-accessible docs that make agentic development safer. An end-to-end loop (Semgrep → Vanta → Bedrock → Mint Seal) that bridges speed and security. Clear enterprise posture: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR Ready, HIPAA Ready focus; fast adoption path (implementation target 14 days).

What we learned

Docs must be machine-readable to be useful for agents (structure matters). Governance works best adjacent to code and triggered by CI/CD events. Small doc gaps create invisible attack surfaces; provenance must ship with code. Human review builds trust—owners should be notified, not bypassed. Simple, enforced coverage thresholds (e.g., 80%) create clear guardrails.

What's next for docuMINT

Deeper integrations: PR checks, ticketing (Jira/ServiceNow), Slack/Teams notifications. Richer policy packs: Industry-specific templates (healthcare, finance, public sector). Evidence automation: Attach artifacts for SOC 2/ISO continuous collection. Stronger attestation: Expand Mint Seal with cryptographic provenance and lineage. Risk-based coverage: Adaptive thresholds by system criticality + dashboards. Evaluation harnesses: Pre-release red-teaming to catch doc-code misalignment. Customer pilots: Multi-repo/monorepo rollouts with owner workflows. Built with Semgrep (codebase scanning & structural analysis) Vanta (control mapping & compliance validation) AWS Bedrock (reasoning + doc generation/patching) Tailwind/modern web stack for the product site and UI
