SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

As projects evolve, AI's internal "memories" and human-readable project documentation can diverge, leading to outdated information, confusion, and wasted time. This Skill provides a guided workflow to ensure both sources of truth remain consistent, keeping your AI agent and human team aligned.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Consistency Check: Systematically review recent code changes to identify impacts on project architecture, conventions, workflows, and status.
  • AI Memory Updates: Guide the update of Serena memories (e.g., project_overview.md, critical_implementation_patterns.md) with concise, token-efficient summaries for immediate AI context.
  • Documentation Flagging & Guidance: Identify and flag specific human-readable documentation files (e.g., docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/PLAN.md) that require comprehensive updates, providing clear instructions for thorough revisions.
  • Strategic Redundancy: Maintain the balance between lean, AI-optimized memories and detailed, human-comprehensible documentation, ensuring both serve their purpose effectively.
  • Use Case: After completing a major development phase or implementing a new architectural pattern, use this skill to update the project's project_overview.md memory and ensure docs/PLAN.md reflects the new status, keeping all project stakeholders informed and the AI agent up-to-date.

Quick Start

Sync project memories and documentation after completing Phase 3, focusing on architectural changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep AI memories and project documentation in sync after code changes?

Memory-sync systematically reviews code changes to identify impacts on architecture and conventions, then updates both AI memories (like project_overview.md) and human-readable documentation (like docs/PLAN.md) through a guided Phase 1–4 workflow, ensuring consistency across your project.

When should I synchronize project memories and documentation?

Synchronize after completing major development phases, implementing new architectural patterns, or discovering significant code changes. This prevents AI context and team documentation from diverging and keeps both sources of truth aligned.

What's the difference between AI memories and project documentation in this workflow?

AI memories are token-efficient summaries (project_overview.md, critical_implementation_patterns.md) for immediate AI context; project documentation is comprehensive, human-readable guidance (docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/PLAN.md) for team understanding. Memory-sync maintains both strategically.

How does memory-sync handle large projects without token bloat?

Memory-sync enforces token-efficient updates by applying targeted, file-specific memory and documentation adaptations rather than wholesale rewrites, balancing lean AI-optimized memories with detailed human-comprehensible docs.

Can I use memory-sync without a formal documentation structure?

Memory-sync is designed for projects with established documentation files like project_overview.md, codebase_structure.md, and docs/PLAN.md. It works best when your project already maintains separate AI memory and human documentation assets.

What happens if documentation and AI memories are already out of sync?

Memory-sync's consistency check identifies divergence by reviewing recent changes and flagging specific files that require updates, providing clear instructions for thorough revisions to realign both sources of truth.
