SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeping documentation synchronized with a rapidly evolving codebase is a constant challenge, leading to outdated information, developer frustration, and wasted time. This Skill eliminates the manual burden of documentation updates, ensuring your project's guides and references are always accurate and current.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Change Detection: Automatically identifies code changes in APIs, new features, or architectural shifts.
  • Intelligent Update Proposals: Generates precise documentation update suggestions, adhering to your project's specific style and markup guidelines defined in .claude/docs.md.
  • Build Validation: Integrates with your documentation build process to check for errors, ensuring proposed changes are valid.
  • Use Case: After refactoring a core API or adding a new feature, this Skill automatically proposes updates to your API reference, architecture diagrams, and quick-start guides, ensuring your documentation is always accurate and up-to-date without manual effort.

Quick Start

This skill primarily activates automatically based on code changes.

To see it in action, simply ask Claude to implement a new feature:

claude "Implement a new StreamingModel class with async stream capabilities."

The skill will then automatically analyze the change and propose relevant documentation updates.

You can also explicitly request an update:

claude "Update the documentation for the new StreamingModel class."

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep documentation synchronized with code changes?

Documentation synchronization automates updates when APIs, interfaces, or architecture change. This Skill detects code modifications, generates update proposals matching your project's style guidelines, validates changes against your documentation build process, and applies updates after confirmation—eliminating manual tracking of code-to-docs consistency.

When should I update documentation after refactoring code?

Update documentation whenever public APIs change, new classes or functions are added, architecture shifts occur, or inconsistencies between code and docs emerge. This Skill automatically detects these scenarios and proposes targeted updates to affected sections like API references, guides, and architecture documentation without manual intervention.

Can this Skill validate documentation changes before applying them?

Yes. The Skill integrates with your documentation build process to validate proposed changes, checking for errors and ensuring compliance with your project's documentation standards defined in `.claude/docs.md` before any updates are applied.

What code changes trigger automatic documentation updates?

Automatic updates trigger on public API or interface changes, new classes, functions, or modules, architecture modifications, explicit update requests, and detected code-documentation inconsistencies. The Skill analyzes each change, identifies affected documents, and generates proposals aligned with your project's documentation format.

Do I need to manually request documentation updates for every code change?

No. This Skill activates automatically when code changes occur and proposes updates proactively. You can also explicitly request updates by asking Claude to update documentation for specific components; manual confirmation and build verification occur before final application.

What documentation standards does this Skill follow?

The Skill adheres to your project's specific documentation style and markup guidelines defined in `.claude/docs.md`. It generates update proposals that match your established conventions, ensuring consistency across all documentation and reducing manual formatting work.
