SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents documentation drift by evaluating how code changes affect business, technical, and audit documentation, ensuring updates are made only when genuinely needed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-Layer Impact Classification: Assess business, technical, and audit documentation needs based on the diff.
  • Targeted Documentation Updates: Update only the documentation affected by new behavior, APIs, architectural decisions, permissions, or security changes.
  • Verification: Re-read updated documentation against the implementation to catch inaccurate claims.
  • Use Case: After adding a new API route, use this Skill to determine which user-facing, technical, and audit documents need updates before committing the change.

Quick Start

Use the diff-driven-docs skill after completing a code change to classify its documentation impact and update only the necessary documents.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent documentation drift after making code changes?

Updating documentation after a code change involves inspecting the diff to classify its impact across business, technical, and audit layers. You then edit only the targeted documents affected by the new behavior or APIs.

What is the best way to identify which technical docs need updates after a new API route is added?

The best way to identify necessary technical docs updates is to evaluate the code diff impact level. This classification determines exactly which user-facing, technical, and audit documents require revisions before a pull request.

When do I need to update audit records during the software development lifecycle?

You need to update audit records after completing build phases but before commits or pull requests. This verifies whether documentation matches the implemented behavior for changes involving permissions or security updates.

How does diff analysis verify that documentation matches the implemented behavior?

Diff analysis verifies documentation accuracy by re-reading the updated documents against the implementation. This catches inaccurate claims by ensuring the text reflects the actual code changes and targeted edits made.

Can I use diff analysis to update only the documentation affected by architectural decisions?

Yes, you can use diff analysis to target documentation updates specifically for architectural decisions. The impact classification ensures only documents genuinely needing updates for new behaviors or APIs are modified.
