SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common issue of outdated, inconsistent, or incomplete documentation, ensuring that project documentation accurately reflects the codebase and is easy for users to understand.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Documentation Audit: Reviews README.md, CLAUDE.md, docstrings, and code comments for correctness and consistency.
  • "Why" Explanation Focus: Emphasizes comments that explain the rationale behind code decisions, not just what the code does.
  • QUICKSTART.md Generation: Automatically creates a concise, terminal-friendly QUICKSTART.md if it's missing.
  • Use Case: Before releasing a new feature, run /docs update to catch any missing docstrings, ensure installation instructions in the README are still valid, and verify that code comments explain complex logic.
