SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating and maintaining project documentation is time-consuming, and documentation often drifts out of sync with code as projects evolve, leading to outdated, incorrect docs that waste team time and cause misalignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initialization Mode: Generates standardized, phase-appropriate documentation templates (covering initialization, requirements, design, testing, etc.) for repository-level or individual subprojects, populating basic content from existing code structure to jumpstart doc creation for new or restructured projects.
  • Update Mode: Scans current code, compares it with existing documentation, identifies outdated, missing, or inconsistent content, and automatically fixes verifiable discrepancies to keep docs aligned with the latest code state.
  • Use Case: For a multi-module C++ project, use this skill to generate all required documentation skeletons after running the project-structure-init skill to set up the project directory, then run it again after major code changes to sync all docs with the latest code without manual review of every file.

Quick Start

Use the project-docs-gen skill to initialize all repository-level documentation for the current project in the initialization phase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically generate project documentation templates from my existing codebase structure?▼

To automatically generate project documentation, use initialization mode to create standardized, phase-appropriate templates for your repository or subprojects. It populates basic content by extracting metadata directly from your existing code structure to jumpstart the creation process.

Why does my software documentation constantly drift out of sync with code changes, and how can I fix it?▼

Documentation drift occurs when manual updates lag behind code changes. You can fix this by using update mode, which scans current code, compares it against existing docs, identifies verifiable discrepancies, and automatically synchronizes outdated or missing content.

Can I generate documentation skeletons for individual subprojects instead of the entire repository?▼

Yes, you can generate documentation skeletons for individual subprojects. The skill offers configurable scope, allowing you to target either the entire repository level or specific subprojects during the initialization phase to match your project structure.

What is the best way to maintain software docs across different development phases like requirements and design?▼

The best way to maintain software docs across phases is using an automated lifecycle management approach. It generates phase-appropriate templates for initialization, requirements, and design, then runs structured code comparison workflows to update verifiable content during maintenance.

Do I need to manually review every code file to update my project docs after major code changes?▼

No, you do not need to manually review every file after major code changes. The update mode scans your current code, performs structured code comparison against existing documentation, and automatically fixes verifiable discrepancies to keep docs aligned.
