SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that your project documentation accurately reflects the current state of your codebase, preventing outdated information and improving developer onboarding and project understanding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Documentation Updates: Automatically updates PROGRESS.md, README.md, HANDOFF.md, and files within the docs/ directory to match code changes.
  • Consistency Checks: Identifies and reports inconsistencies between code and documentation (e.g., TODOs in code not in PROGRESS.md, removed features still documented).
  • Use Case: After implementing a new API endpoint, run this Skill to automatically update the relevant sections in README.md and docs/api.md, ensuring new developers have accurate information.

Quick Start

Run the doc-sync skill to update all project documentation to match the current code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep project documentation in sync with code changes automatically?

To keep documentation in sync with code changes, you can automate the synchronization of project files like PROGRESS.md, README.md, and HANDOFF.md to match the current codebase state. This prevents outdated information and improves project understanding.

How do I detect inconsistencies between code and documentation?

To detect inconsistencies between code and documentation, run an automated consistency check that identifies and reports mismatches. It flags issues like TODOs in code missing from PROGRESS.md or removed features still documented in the docs/ directory.

What is the best way to update README and docs files before a release?

The best way to update README and docs files before a release is to run an automated documentation synchronization process. It updates all project documentation to match code changes, ensuring accuracy and consistency across the codebase.

Can I automatically update PROGRESS.md and HANDOFF.md to reflect new API endpoints?

Yes, you can automatically update PROGRESS.md and HANDOFF.md to reflect new API endpoints. The documentation sync process updates relevant sections in these files and the docs/ directory to match the current codebase state.

Does documentation sync work without external dependencies?

Yes, documentation sync works without external dependencies. The skill operates independently using internal scripts and references to detect code and documentation inconsistencies and update project files to match codebase changes.

When should I run a documentation consistency check?

You should run a documentation consistency check after implementing code changes and before releases. This ensures that updates to features, API endpoints, and TODOs are accurately reflected in README.md, PROGRESS.md, and the docs/ directory.
