SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When a change touches multiple layers of an application—backend APIs, frontend code, configuration, and documentation—teams often update one layer and forget the others, causing broken contracts, stale docs, and inconsistent behavior. This Skill provides a structured checklist to ensure every impacted layer is updated atomically in the same change. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Backend-to-Frontend Sync Checks: Verifies API contracts, fields, permissions, response structures, and i18n keys stay aligned between Go backend and React frontend. - Documentation Sync Enforcement: Ensures bilingual docs (English and zh-CN), API references, and deployment guides reflect runtime behavior changes. - Verification & Exit Criteria: Defines lint, build, format, and test commands plus manual verification steps before a change can be marked complete. - Use Case: After adding a new API endpoint to the backend, run this checklist to confirm the frontend API client, UI components, i18n translations, and API reference documentation are all updated in the same commit. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run the cross-layer synchronization checklist for a change that modifies both the backend API and the frontend views.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep frontend and backend in sync when changing an API?

Use a cross-layer sync checklist that covers route paths, request payloads, response handling, error handling, and TypeScript types. Update the frontend API client, UI components, and i18n keys in the same commit as the backend change, then run lint and build verification.

What should I check when adding a new API endpoint to a full-stack app?

Add the backend route, handler, and validation first, then create the frontend API client function and UI components. Add i18n translations for user-facing text, update API reference documentation, and write backend handler tests before merging.

Does this checklist support bilingual documentation projects?

Yes, it explicitly requires updating both English and zh-CN documentation versions together. It also checks that language switch links work and relative links remain consistent across both language variants.

When is a layer allowed to skip synchronization changes?

A layer can be skipped only after actually inspecting it and confirming no changes are needed. The change summary must document which layers were checked and justify why no sync was required, such as an optional backend field with default frontend behavior.

What verification commands are required before completing a cross-layer change?

Run yarn lint and yarn build for frontend changes, gofmt and golangci-lint for backend formatting, and relevant go test commands. Manual end-to-end testing, light and dark mode checks, and browser console inspection are also required for UI changes.
