FAQPage Schema
How do I keep project documentation in sync with code changes automatically?

To keep documentation in sync with code changes, this Skill automates updating READMEs, API docs, and guides based on recent commits. It enforces project style, adds changelog notes, and runs docs-check tooling to verify completeness.

What's the best way to update API docs when a new endpoint is added?

Updating API docs for new endpoints is handled by scanning recent code changes and automatically refreshing API references and README usage examples. This ensures interfaces and behaviors reflect the current codebase without manual editing.

How do I validate that my README and API docs match current code interfaces?

Validating that docs match current interfaces is done through built-in consistency checks. The Skill flags mismatches between documentation and actual code behaviors, then applies policy-driven updates to eliminate drift.

Does this documentation sync approach work for codebases with frequent multi-file changes?

Yes, this documentation sync approach is designed for codebases with frequent changes and multi-file documentation. It applies policy-driven updates across all relevant files to maintain consistency regardless of change volume.

Why does my project documentation drift out of date after code updates?

Documentation drifts out of date after code updates when changes are committed without refreshing corresponding docs. This Skill prevents drift by enforcing changelog notes and verifying completeness using defined docs-check tooling.

Can I enforce project style guidelines when updating contribution guidelines and docs?

Yes, you can enforce project style guidelines during documentation updates. The Skill validates that all refreshed READMEs, API docs, and contribution guidelines meet defined style policies before changes are finalized.
