SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of stale, drifting solution documentation in the docs/solutions/ directory that becomes outdated after codebase changes like refactors, migrations, and dependency upgrades, leading to misleading guidance for future engineering work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stale Doc Detection: Scans all eligible docs in docs/solutions/ to identify outdated references, contradictory guidance, redundant content, or obsolete records by cross-referencing with the current codebase.
  • Flexible Maintenance Modes: Runs in autofix mode for hands-off updates of unambiguous drift, or interactive mode for human judgment calls on ambiguous cases like consolidation or replacement decisions.
  • Use Case: After completing a major dependency upgrade that changed multiple API endpoints, use this skill to automatically update all affected solution docs to match the new code patterns, or interactively consolidate overlapping docs about the same authentication issue.

Quick Start

Use the ce:compound-refresh skill to review and update all outdated solution docs in the docs/solutions/ directory after your recent codebase refactor.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update solution documentation after a codebase refactor?

To update solution documentation after a codebase refactor, you can cross-reference existing docs in the docs/solutions/ directory against the current codebase to identify and resolve drift, applying evidence-backed updates to correct outdated references and patterns.

What is stale documentation drift and how do I detect it?

Stale documentation drift occurs when solution docs become outdated following codebase changes like migrations or dependency upgrades. Detection involves scanning docs/solutions/ to identify outdated references, contradictory guidance, redundant content, or obsolete records by cross-referencing them with the current codebase.

Can I automatically fix outdated solution docs without manual review?

Yes, you can automatically fix outdated solution docs using an autofix mode designed for hands-off updates of unambiguous drift. For ambiguous cases requiring human judgment, such as consolidation or replacement decisions, an interactive maintenance mode is also available.

When should I run a documentation refresh in my engineering workflow?

You should run a documentation refresh after completing major codebase changes such as refactors, migrations, or dependency upgrades. Triggering this post-change maintenance workflow ensures solution docs accurately match the new code patterns and prevents misleading future engineering work.

What is the best way to consolidate redundant solution docs about the same issue?

The best way to consolidate redundant solution docs is using an interactive maintenance mode that cross-references existing learnings and pattern docs against the current codebase. This allows you to interactively consolidate overlapping documentation and apply evidence-backed replacements.
