SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill maintains consistency between code and documentation by detecting drift, validating examples, generating diagrams, and auto-updating docs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Drift detection: Identify API signatures, configs, and examples drift.
  • Validate examples: Ensure embedded code examples execute correctly.
  • Auto diagram & README updates: Generate architecture diagrams and refresh API docs.

Quick Start

Run the full synchronization (sync-all) to align code and docs before release.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect when code and documentation drift out of sync?

Documentation drift detection compares API signatures, configurations, and embedded examples against your codebase using static analysis and AST extraction to identify mismatches before release or during pull requests, flagging what needs updating in a drift report.

Can I automatically validate that code examples in my README actually work?

Example validation executes embedded code snippets from your documentation to verify they run correctly and produce expected output, catching broken examples before they confuse users or during onboarding.

What's the best way to keep API documentation and README files current with code changes?

Auto-update functionality regenerates architecture diagrams and refreshes API documentation in READMEs based on current code signatures and configurations, running automatically during releases and refactoring to eliminate manual sync work.

How does static analysis help maintain consistent documentation?

Static code analysis and AST-based signature extraction parse your codebase to automatically extract current API definitions, configurations, and structure, creating a source of truth that documentation validation and updates reference.

Can I use documentation sync during pull requests and releases?

Documentation sync runs as a check during pull requests to catch drift before merge and executes before releases to validate that all code examples, signatures, and diagrams match the current codebase, preventing inconsistent deployments.

Do I need existing architecture diagrams for diagram generation to work?

Diagram generation creates architecture diagrams from code analysis, so you don't need pre-existing diagrams; the Skill produces diagram code you can version alongside your documentation.
