SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of documentation drift by generating and maintaining project docs from actual repository code, so teams do not have to guess whether their README, API reference, or changelog still matches implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initial documentation generation: Creates a practical README, architecture overview, API reference, and changelog foundation from the codebase.
  • Ongoing doc synchronization: Updates only the documentation sections affected by code changes and preserves existing user-written content.
  • Consistency and traceability: Enforces source-grounded documentation, cross-doc consistency checks, and changelog updates so claims remain tied to real files, functions, and routes.
  • Use case: A developer changes routes, config, and exports in a project, and this Skill updates the affected docs without overwriting the rest of the documentation set.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to scan the repository and update the documentation so the README, API reference, and changelog accurately reflect the current code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep my project documentation synced with my codebase?

To keep documentation synced with your codebase, you can scan the repository and update the README, API reference, and changelog to accurately reflect the current code without overwriting existing user-written sections.

What is documentation drift and how do I prevent it?

Documentation drift occurs when project docs no longer match the implementation. You prevent it by generating and maintaining README, architecture, and API docs directly from actual repository code and git history.

Can I update only the affected documentation sections when code changes?

Yes, you can update only the documentation sections affected by code changes while preserving existing user-written content, ensuring that unchanged sections remain intact during incremental code modifications.

How do I generate initial documentation from an existing codebase?

To generate initial documentation from an existing codebase, scan the repository code to create a practical README, architecture overview, API reference, and changelog foundation based on the actual implementation.

What's the best way to ensure API docs and changelog updates match real code?

The best way to ensure API docs and changelog updates match real code is to enforce source-grounded documentation with cross-doc consistency checks, so every documented claim maps to actual files, functions, and routes.

Does this documentation synchronization approach work for pre-deploy validation?

Yes, this documentation synchronization approach works for pre-deploy validation by scanning source files and running cross-document consistency checks to detect stale content before deployment.
