What problem does it solve?

Post-ship documentation maintenance by aligning docs with what shipped—ensuring README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, and CLAUDE.md reflect the latest changes, polishing the CHANGELOG voice, cleaning up TODOS, and optionally bumping VERSION after merges.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated cross-file doc syncing: Update README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, and CLAUDE.md to reflect what shipped.
  • Changelog tone polishing and TODOS clean-up: Improve language and tidy tasks; optionally bump VERSION after ship.
  • Proactive documentation drift detection: Suggest updates after PR merges or code shipments to keep docs current.

Quick Start
