SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the common issue of documentation drift, where project manuals, ADRs, and specs become outdated as the codebase evolves.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Impact Analysis: Scans project documentation for references to changed code, function signatures, or behavioral logic.
  • Traceability Maintenance: Updates the internal requirements-to-tests-to-code mapping to ensure architectural integrity.
  • Use Case: After refactoring a core API endpoint, use this skill to identify which README sections and ADRs are now stale and generate proposed updates for your review.

Quick Start

Invoke the documents-update-docs skill to scan the current repository changes and propose necessary updates to your project documentation.

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

To keep project documentation in sync with code changes, you can scan the repository for stale references in READMEs and technical specs, then generate proposed updates for review based on recent behavioral logic modifications.

What is documentation drift and how do I identify stale references in ADRs?

Documentation drift occurs when manuals and ADRs become outdated as code evolves. You identify stale references by performing automated impact analysis across the project directory to find mismatches between documented requirements and implementation behavior.

Can I automatically update traceability mappings between requirements and code?

You can update traceability mappings by scanning the project state files and documentation corpus to synchronize the internal requirements-to-tests-to-code mapping, ensuring architectural integrity is maintained after codebase modifications.

What's the best way to find outdated technical specifications affected by API endpoint changes?

The best way to find outdated technical specifications is to analyze changed function signatures and behavioral logic, then cross-reference those modifications against the existing documentation corpus to pinpoint exactly which sections require updates.

Does this documentation synchronization approach work without existing state files?

No, accurate documentation synchronization requires access to the project's state files and documentation corpus to perform precise impact analysis and generate correct traceability updates for stale references.

When should I avoid using automated documentation update tools?

You should avoid relying solely on automated documentation updates when a project lacks a structured documentation corpus or state files, as accurate impact analysis and traceability maintenance depend on existing architectural records.
