SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of maintaining fragmented documentation by automating the initialization of a structured, git-versioned knowledge base that stays in sync with your source code and external tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated Configuration: Generates standardized .knowledge-sync.yml and CONVENTIONS.md files to enforce documentation quality.
Intelligent Mapping: Interactively maps project source code globs to documentation areas, ensuring docs are updated when relevant code changes.
Secure Integration: Provides a safe, opt-in framework for syncing external sources like Linear or Notion without exposing credentials in the configuration.

Quick Start

Run the knowledge-sync-init skill to begin the interactive setup process for your repository documentation.

FAQPage Schema

How do I sync my documentation with source code changes in git?▼

To sync documentation with source code, you can initialize a structured knowledge base that maps repository globs to documentation areas, ensuring technical docs stay version-controlled and consistent when relevant code changes. This generates the necessary configuration files automatically.

What is the best way to automate knowledge-base initialization for a repository?▼

Automated knowledge-base initialization uses an interactive setup process to generate standardized configuration files like .knowledge-sync.yml and CONVENTIONS.md, enforcing documentation quality and strict adherence to Diátaxis standards across your repository tree.

Can I sync external sources like Notion or Linear without exposing credentials?▼

Yes, you can sync external sources from tools like Linear or Notion using a safe, opt-in framework that prevents credential exposure in the configuration files, keeping your integration secure while maintaining knowledge-base synchronization.

Does this documentation mapping support the Diátaxis framework?▼

Yes, the documentation mapping supports the Diátaxis framework strictly, ensuring your version-controlled knowledge management system enforces standardized technical documentation areas mapped directly from your project source code globs.

How do knowledge bases maintain consistency between code changes and technical docs?▼

Knowledge bases maintain consistency by interactively mapping source code paths to specific documentation areas, triggering updates to technical docs whenever relevant code changes occur within the mapped repository globs.

What files are needed to bootstrap a version-controlled documentation system?▼

Bootstrapping a version-controlled documentation system requires standardized configuration files, specifically .knowledge-sync.yml and CONVENTIONS.md, which enforce quality and map source code globs to documentation areas.
