SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Updates to design documents can be error-prone and time-consuming when changes are frequent. This skill automates the process of updating frontmatter, sections, and references to ensure consistency across modules and projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates frontmatter updates (status, completeness, last-synced, updated)
  • Replaces or appends sections in design docs and manages cross-document references
  • Supports bulk updates and validation workflows to maintain design-system integrity
  • Use Case: Apply updates after code changes to sync decisions and maintain context across repositories.

Quick Start

Run the design-update command to apply changes to a target design document.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate design-doc frontmatter updates across multiple modules?

Automating design-doc frontmatter updates is done by synchronizing content and metadata across modules, enforcing required fields, and validating status-to-completeness consistency during bulk operations.

How does cross-document reference synchronization work in markdown design docs?

Cross-document reference synchronization works by replacing or appending sections in design docs and managing references to ensure consistency across modules and projects during update workflows.

Can I validate status-to-completeness consistency in design documents?

Yes, you can validate status-to-completeness consistency in design documents. The workflow enforces required fields and validates that the frontmatter status aligns with the document's completeness.

What's the best way to sync design doc timestamps after code changes?

The best way to sync design doc timestamps after code changes is using automated tooling that updates last-synced and updated timestamps while applying frontmatter changes and section updates.

Do I need automated validation tooling to apply bulk design-doc updates?

You need automated validation tooling to apply bulk design-doc updates safely. The workflow integrates with automated tooling for validation and reporting to maintain design-system integrity during frequent changes.

Why does my design-doc validation fail when updating frontmatter status fields?

Design-doc validation fails when frontmatter status fields do not match the required status-to-completeness consistency rules, or when required fields are missing during the sync workflow.
