SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Post-ship documentation often diverges from what was actually shipped. This Skill automatically reads project diffs and updates key docs to reflect the shipped changes, reducing drift and manual rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated cross-doc synchronization: updates README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and CLAUDE.md to match shipped changes.
  • Change-log polish and TODOS cleanup: harmonizes CHANGELOG voice and cleans up outstanding TODOs without regressing history.
  • Proactive version alignment: optionally bumps VERSION and preserves historical entries when appropriate (subject to user confirmation).

Quick Start

From the repository root, run the document-release workflow to sync documentation with shipped changes.
