FAQPage Schema
How do I keep documentation synchronized automatically when code changes?

Documentation synchronization extracts updates from code changes and applies them to README, CHANGELOG, API, and Architecture files automatically. This Skill monitors code modifications and regenerates affected documentation sections to reflect the latest implementation details without manual rewrites.

Can I automatically update README and CHANGELOG files with code changes?

Yes. This Skill automatically syncs README.md and CHANGELOG.md by detecting code changes, extracting relevant details, generating update content, and applying modifications. It produces a concise report of all changes made across documentation files.

What documentation files can be kept in sync with code?

This Skill maintains README.md, CHANGELOG.md, API.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, and Memory Bank files including activeContext.md, progress.md, decisionLog.md, and productContext.md. All files update automatically to reflect feature implementations and pre-release workflows.

How does automatic documentation update work during feature development?

The Skill extracts API details from code, generates corresponding documentation content, verifies correctness, applies changes to relevant files, and produces an update report. This runs automatically during feature implementations to keep all project docs aligned with code.

Do I need to manually edit documentation after code changes?

No. This Skill eliminates manual documentation updates by automatically syncing all project files with code changes. It handles content generation, verification, and application, requiring only initial setup to begin automated synchronization.

What happens if documentation changes conflict with code updates?

The Skill verifies correctness before applying changes to ensure documentation accuracy. It applies updates systematically across all tracked files and reports modifications made, maintaining consistency between code and documentation throughout the workflow.
