Enterprise compliance documentation is often written after systems have already changed, which leaves policy narratives, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and audit evidence out of sync with executable behavior.

Read moreEnterprise compliance documentation is often written after systems have already changed, which leaves policy narratives, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and audit evidence out of sync with executable behavior. This paper proposes Retrieval-Grounded Documentation Agents (RGDA), a synthetic architecture in which bounded documentation agents maintain compliance text by combining abstract-syntax-tree-aware reflexion, hybrid semantic-relational evidence packs, distributed retrieval-augmented generation, model-context-protocol schemas, anonymized evidence views, and legal-meme lineage scoring. RGDA extends the policy-verified governance fabric of Policy-Verified Agentic DataOps for Regulated Multi-Cloud Analytics and the telemetry-to-evidence loop of Low-Latency Grid Intelligence with Self-Governing Stream and Calibration Agents by treating documentation edits as governed actions that must cite executable, operational, and policy evidence before they can be accepted. We define the architecture, evidence model, documentation-maintenance algorithm, and a simulated compliance benchmark over software, cloud, and grid-observability workflows. In simulation, RGDA improves evidence-supported claim accuracy from 73.2% to 94.8%, reduces stale compliance claims by 64.7%, and eliminates unauthorized sensitive-evidence exposure relative to an unbounded documentation-agent baseline. These results are hypothetical and are intended to make the design auditable rather than to claim production deployment.
