Proof Goblin 0.1.0

Proof Goblin 0.1.0 — Public Preview

We're excited to announce the first public preview of Proof Goblin.

Proof Goblin is an AI-assisted documentation reviewer designed to help teams improve technical writing through structured, repeatable review. Rather than rewriting documentation, Proof Goblin approaches documents through configurable review perspectives—called Lenses—that ask questions, identify ambiguities, surface inconsistencies, and encourage clearer communication while leaving editorial decisions to the author.

This public preview establishes the foundation of the project and introduces the first production-ready command-line experience.

Highlights

• Lens-based document review for repeatable, context-aware analysis.
• Mission-driven workflows that package review objectives into reusable configurations.
• Markdown-first workflow designed to integrate naturally with existing documentation projects.
• OpenAI-powered structured analysis with deterministic, review-oriented output.
• Sphinx documentation covering architecture, development, and project philosophy.
• Comprehensive automated test suite to support reliable future development.
• Modern Python packaging with secure, reproducible releases.

Secure by Design

Proof Goblin 0.1.0 is published using modern Python supply-chain practices, including:

• PyPI Trusted Publishing using GitHub OpenID Connect
• Build provenance attestations
• Reproducible release validation
• Dependency auditing during release
• Immutable GitHub Actions references
• Least-privilege publishing workflows

These measures improve confidence in where official Proof Goblin releases come from while supporting a transparent, auditable release process.

Looking Ahead

This release represents the beginning of the project, not its destination.

Future work will expand the available review lenses, introduce richer review missions, improve reporting and output formats, and continue exploring how AI can augment—rather than replace—technical writing and documentation review.

If you've ever wished for a thoughtful reviewer who asks the questions your documentation forgot to answer, we hope you'll enjoy following the journey.

Thank you for checking out Proof Goblin.
