To synchronize architecture docs with code changes automatically, use a contract-first tool that applies guardrail-driven edits. It scans source updates and propagates corresponding changes to architecture diagrams and code-facing guides to maintain consistency.

Code-facing documentation drifts from architecture docs because high-level design and implementation details evolve independently across multiple modules. Without enforced synchronization, updates to library APIs fail to reflect in the corresponding developer guides.

To update developer guides and architecture diagrams when a library API changes, apply a synchronization tool with read and write access to documentation. It enforces scoped edits to reflect the new API surface accurately across all affected modules.

Yes, contract-first planning and guardrails defined in GEMINI.md are required for documentation synchronization. These guardrails enforce alignment between architecture docs and code-facing guides, applying changes strictly within a defined scope to avoid unintended writes.

The best way to enforce scoped edits when synchronizing source and documentation is using guardrail-driven rules. This prevents unintended writes by strictly limiting updates to the defined architectural scope and relevant code-facing guides.

Yes, this documentation synchronization approach is designed for software repositories spanning multiple modules and teams. It maintains lockstep consistency between architecture diagrams, API docs, and implementation guides regardless of the team structure.
