SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeps DESIGN.md synchronized with architectural changes in Java projects by analyzing staged diffs and proposing targeted updates, reducing drift between code and design documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect architectural drift in type: java repositories and propose updates to docs/DESIGN.md
  • Map code changes to DESIGN.md sections (Domain Model, API Endpoints, Components, Component Structure)
  • Validate proposals before applying changes using existing tooling and conventions

Quick Start

Invoke the skill after staging Java changes to refresh DESIGN.md with architecture-aligned updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep DESIGN.md synchronized with Java code changes?

To keep DESIGN.md synchronized with Java changes, stage your code diffs and invoke the skill to analyze architectural impact and propose targeted updates to design documentation sections.

What is architectural drift in Java repositories and how do I detect it?

Architectural drift occurs when Java code changes diverge from design documentation. Detect it by analyzing staged diffs against docs/DESIGN.md to identify unmapped structural impacts in Domain Model or Components.

Can I automatically update specific DESIGN.md sections based on staged Java diffs?

Yes, you can automatically update specific DESIGN.md sections. The skill maps staged Java diffs to Domain Model, API Endpoints, Components, and Component Structure sections for targeted proposals.

Does this design documentation sync tool require a specific file path for DESIGN.md?

Yes, design documentation sync requires the DESIGN.md file to be located at docs/DESIGN.md within a repository typed as Java for the tool to analyze staged changes and validate proposals.

How are proposed design documentation updates validated before applying changes?

Proposed DESIGN.md updates are validated before applying changes by checking them against existing tooling and project conventions to ensure the synchronized documentation remains architecture-aligned.

What's the best way to prevent documentation drift when modifying Java architecture?

The best way to prevent documentation drift when modifying Java architecture is analyzing staged diffs to propose validated, targeted updates to DESIGN.md sections before applying the code changes.
