SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill resolves documentation drift by systematically identifying discrepancies between source code implementations and reference documentation, ensuring technical accuracy without manual auditing.

Core Features & Use Cases

Systematic Discrepancy Detection: Automatically compares struct fields, function signatures, and enum values against existing documentation.
Bulk Rewrite Capability: Ensures internal consistency by rewriting entire documentation pages rather than patching individual lines.
Use Case: When a major refactor changes function parameters or struct definitions, use this Skill to audit all reference docs and update them to reflect the current codebase state.

Quick Start

Use the docs-sync skill to analyze the current source code and rewrite all outdated reference documentation to match the implementation.

FAQPage Schema

How do I detect discrepancies between API reference docs and my source code?▼

To detect discrepancies between API reference docs and source code, you need a systematic comparison tool that analyzes full files to identify mismatched struct fields, function signatures, and enum values. This process ensures technical accuracy without manual auditing.

What is the best way to fix documentation drift after a major codebase refactor?▼

The best way to fix documentation drift after a codebase refactor is to use a bulk rewrite capability that audits all reference docs and updates entire pages to reflect the current implementation state, rather than patching individual lines.

How do I synchronize outdated API documentation with my current codebase?▼

You can synchronize outdated API documentation with your current codebase by running a full-file analysis that compares source code implementations against reference docs, automatically correcting structural and semantic discrepancies to achieve complete parity.

Does documentation synchronization work by patching individual lines or rewriting entire pages?▼

Documentation synchronization works by rewriting entire pages to ensure internal consistency. Instead of patching individual lines, this bulk rewrite approach guarantees that all struct fields, function signatures, and enum values match the current codebase.

Can I use automated documentation sync to update struct definitions and code examples?▼

Yes, you can use automated documentation sync to update struct definitions and code examples. It automatically compares these elements against existing reference documentation and corrects both structural and semantic discrepancies to maintain technical accuracy.

When do I need to run a documentation and source code parity check?▼

You need to run a documentation and source code parity check when codebase evolution leads to stale API docs. This typically happens after a major refactor changes function parameters, struct definitions, or enum values, requiring a full-file analysis to ensure accuracy.
