SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Convert completed planning artifacts (spec.md, tasks.md, checklist.md) into centralized, evidence-backed project documentation and archive the used planning files to keep active docs lean and trustworthy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardizes scattered planning artifacts into a concise set of docs: README.md plus categorized docs for getting started, configuration, architecture, features, and developer guidance.
  • Archives superseded spec sources after a successful conversion to maintain a clean active repository.
  • Reconciles claims in specs with current codebase to ensure docs reflect the true state of the project.

Quick Start

Run the archive-specs workflow to inventory planning files, reconcile with the repository, generate standardized docs, and archive consumed specs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert planning specs into project documentation?

To convert planning specs into project documentation, the workflow inventories spec.md, tasks.md, and checklist.md files, reconciles their claims with the current codebase, and generates standardized docs like README.md and categorized guides.

Why does my project documentation disagree with the actual codebase?

Project documentation disagrees with the codebase when planning artifacts are not reconciled against current code. This Skill applies evidence-first principles, reading SKILL.md frontmatter and aligning spec content with codebase evidence to ensure docs reflect the true state.

What is the best way to archive superseded spec files?

The best way to archive superseded spec files is to run a reconciliation workflow that converts them into durable documentation first, then safely archives the consumed source specs to keep the active repository clean and trustworthy.

What documentation structure does this workflow generate from planning artifacts?

The workflow generates a standardized documentation structure from planning artifacts, producing a README.md plus categorized outputs under docs/ including getting-started, configuration, architecture, features, and developer-guide sections.

Can I use this to clean up scattered planning files in my repository?

Yes, you can clean up scattered planning files by standardizing spec.md, tasks.md, and checklist.md artifacts into centralized project documentation, then archiving the consumed planning sources to maintain a lean active repository.

When should I not use automated spec archiving for documentation?

You should not use automated spec archiving when planning artifacts are still actively being drafted and unconverted, as the workflow archives superseded spec sources only after a successful reconciliation and conversion into durable docs.
