SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Post-ship documentation often drifts from the actual codebase. This Skill reads the diff across the repository and updates critical docs (README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, CLAUDE.md) to match what shipped, polishes CHANGELOG voice, cleans up TODOS, and optionally bumps VERSION.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-checks project docs against shipped changes and updates README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, and CLAUDE.md.
  • Polishes CHANGELOG prose, cleans up TODOS, and optionally bumps the VERSION to reflect new releases.
  • Automatically triggers after PR merges or code ships to keep documentation in sync.

Quick Start

Run the document-release skill after shipping to sync docs with the latest changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update documentation after a release to match shipped code?

Keep docs up-to-date after shipping by scanning repository diffs and updating README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, and CLAUDE.md to match shipped changes. This automated post-ship documentation alignment prevents docs from drifting from the actual codebase.

What is the best way to keep CLAUDE.md and CHANGELOG in sync after a PR merge?

The best way to keep CLAUDE.md and CHANGELOG in sync is automating post-ship documentation updates by scanning diffs. This updates core docs to reflect what shipped, polishes CHANGELOG prose, and cleans up TODOS automatically after PR merges.

Can I automatically bump the VERSION file when updating docs after shipping?

Yes, you can bump the VERSION file when syncing docs after shipping. The version bump is applied safely only when requested, alongside updating README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, CLAUDE.md, polishing CHANGELOG prose, and cleaning up TODOS.

Do I need repo access and diffs to align documentation with shipped changes?

Yes, aligning documentation with shipped changes requires access to repo files and diffs. The Skill reads these diffs to safely edit core docs like CLAUDE.md and ARCHITECTURE, ensuring they accurately reflect what shipped.

When should I not use automated post-ship documentation updates?

You should not use automated post-ship documentation updates when you lack access to repo files and diffs, as the Skill requires them to scan changes and safely edit docs. It is designed specifically for post-ship alignment, not initial doc creation.
