What problem does it solve?
After shipping code, project documentation (READMEs, changelogs, architecture guides, etc.) often falls out of sync with what was actually deployed, leading to confusion for users and contributors, wasted time debugging mismatched docs, and reduced trust in project resources.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Doc Alignment: Cross-references git diffs from shipped code to identify all changes that need to be reflected in project documentation.
- Multi-Doc Updates: Updates README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, and CLAUDE.md files to match shipped functionality, polishes CHANGELOG entry voice, and cleans up outdated TODOs.
- Optional Version Bump: Can automatically increment version numbers in project files to match new releases.
- Use Case: After merging a PR that adds new enemy ultimate cooldown tracking to a League of Legends overlay, run this skill to automatically update the feature list in the README, add the new feature to the CHANGELOG, and remove the old TODO note about unimplemented cooldown tracking.
Quick Start
Use the document-release skill to sync all project documentation with the code changes from your latest shipped PR.
