SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill updates existing documentation to match the current codebase, reducing drift and ensuring accuracy for readers and developers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated documentation sync: Compare docs against code to identify discrepancies and suggest precise updates.
  • Writer-assisted updates: Spawns the @writer agent to generate and apply changes while preserving structure and tone.
  • Use Case: When the README no longer reflects new APIs or architecture, run this skill to align docs with the latest code.

Quick Start

Use the docs-update skill to refresh your project documentation so it reflects the current codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep documentation in sync with an evolving codebase?

Documentation synchronization keeps docs aligned with an evolving codebase by comparing documents against code to identify discrepancies, generating diffs, and applying in-place updates to preserve structure and tone.

What is the best way to update a README to reflect new APIs?

Updating a README to reflect new APIs involves generating a diff between the current docs and code, then applying writer-assisted updates to align the text with the latest architecture without losing the original structure.

Why does documentation drift occur in software projects?

Documentation drift occurs because codebases evolve rapidly through new APIs and architecture changes, while manual docs fail to keep pace, causing discrepancies that require automated synchronization to ensure accuracy for readers and developers.

Can I preserve the original tone when applying codebase updates to docs?

Yes, you can preserve the original tone during codebase updates by using a writer agent to generate and apply changes, ensuring the documentation synchronization process maintains the existing structure and voice while reflecting the latest code.

Does documentation synchronization work for projects with frequent code changes?

Documentation synchronization is designed for projects with evolving codebases where README files and diagrams need frequent updates, comparing current docs against the latest code to suggest precise in-place updates and reduce drift.
