SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the hassle of outdated project documentation that drifts out of sync with recent code refactors, new feature implementations, and bug fixes in a feature branch, removing the need for manual cross-checks across all documentation assets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Git Commit Analysis: Automatically identifies architectural refactors, new features, breaking changes, and bug fixes from recent branch commits.
  • Multi-Documentation Updates: Synchronizes changes across developer notes (DEVNOTES.md, detail guides), user-facing site content, distribution files (README, changelog, install artifacts), and system manual pages.
  • Use Case: If your team renames a core rendering tool and adds a new shading language feature, this Skill updates all references, branding, and changelog entries across every relevant documentation file automatically.

Quick Start

Use the branch-docs-sync skill to update all project documentation to match the recent code changes in your current feature branch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep documentation synchronized with code changes in a git feature branch?

To keep documentation synchronized with code changes, this Skill analyzes recent git commits and performs targeted text replacements across developer notes, site content, and manual pages. It automatically updates references to match refactored code without altering underlying logic.

Can I automatically update release notes and developer notes from recent git commits?

Yes, you can automatically update release notes and developer notes from git commits. The Skill identifies architectural refactors, new features, and bug fixes from branch history, then applies these changes to distribution files and detail guides.

What is the best way to sync user-facing site content when refactoring code?

The best way to sync user-facing site content during refactoring is to analyze branch commit history for breaking changes. This process updates all relevant documentation assets, ensuring branding and references match the new code.

Does documentation sync require access to the full git commit history?

Documentation sync requires access to git commit history to identify changes accurately. It uses this history to detect new feature implementations and bug fixes, applying targeted updates across standard project documentation structures.

Will updating project docs with this process alter my actual code logic?

Updating project docs will not alter your actual code logic. The process performs targeted text replacements and file updates exclusively across documentation assets like manual pages and changelogs, leaving the functional code untouched.

What types of documentation files can be updated automatically when code changes?

Documentation files that can be updated automatically include developer notes, user-facing site content, distribution release files, and system manual pages. The process targets all these standard assets to ensure full synchronization with code changes.
