## Unique Features Not in Anthropic Examples

### 1. Source Priority System

```markdown
Trust Priority Order:
1. Website (public-facing, most authoritative)
2. GitHub (developer-facing, technical accuracy)
3. Local Docs (internal-use, lowest priority)
```

**Why It Matters:** When conflicts exist, this tells Claude which source to trust.

### 2. Report Persistence

```
consistency-reports/
├── 2025-10-23-10-45-23-full-audit.md
├── 2025-10-22-15-20-12-website-github.md
└── 2025-10-20-09-15-33-docs-sync.md
```

**Why It Matters:** Historical tracking of consistency over time.

### 3. Visual Priority System

- 🔴 **CRITICAL**: Must fix immediately
- 🟡 **WARNING**: Should review soon
- 🟢 **INFORMATIONAL**: Awareness only

**Why It Matters:** Instant visual parsing of urgency.

### 4. Exact File Locations

```markdown
**Website:** v1.2.1 (index.html:45)
**GitHub:** v1.2.0 (README.md:12)
```

**Why It Matters:** No hunting for where to make fixes.

### 5. Actionable Recommendations

Not just "version mismatch" but:
1. Update GitHub README.md line 12 to v1.2.1
2. Update training-guide.md line 156 to v1.2.1

**Why It Matters:** Direct action items, not just observations.
