SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Project documentation often becomes outdated, unsafe, or unusable, causing onboarding delays and repeated troubleshooting; this skill produces documentation that is accurate, operational, and secure for real contributors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Accurate, source-driven docs: structures content around what exists in the repository (commands, config, routes, tests, CI, and current behavior) rather than guessing.
  • L5 documentation standard: ensures documentation is operational, navigable, verifiable, maintainable, and safe (including redaction and dummy env values).
  • Documentation lifecycle support: covers README updates, installation guides, architecture/API docs, changelogs, runbooks, and contribution guidelines with a clear discovery-to-verify process.
  • Progressive disclosure via templates: loads concrete templates from references only when actionable section structure is needed.
  • Quality gates and verification: enforces “design before completion” (e.g., explicit verification status and checked links/commands where practical).

Quick Start

Use this skill to update your repository’s README and installation guide based on the current codebase, ensuring commands are correct and all environment examples use dummy values instead of secrets.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-documentation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate accurate README and installation guide content from my existing repository code?▼

Generate accurate README and installation guide content by discovering actual repository commands, config, routes, and CI behavior rather than guessing. Source-aware documentation structures content around existing code, ensuring operational and verifiable guides with correct commands.

What is the best way to ensure environment variables and secrets are handled securely in project documentation?▼

Handle environment variables securely in project documentation by applying an L5 quality standard that enforces redaction and uses dummy env values. This prevents secret leakage while maintaining operational examples for contributors.

Does this documentation approach work for both onboarding new contributors and release change communication?▼

Yes, this approach works for onboarding and release change communication by producing operational, maintainable docs. It covers usage, maintenance, and release updates, ensuring all contributors receive accurate and verified information across the repository lifecycle.

How do I verify that links and commands in my architecture docs actually work before completing documentation updates?▼

Verify links and commands in architecture docs by enforcing quality gates with explicit verification statuses. This design-before-completion approach checks operational commands and links, ensuring documentation remains accurate and functional for real contributors.

When should I use structured templates for updating contribution guidelines and changelogs?▼

Use structured templates for updating contribution guidelines and changelogs when actionable section structures are needed. Templates provide progressive disclosure, loading concrete formats only when required to maintain navigable and verifiable documentation artifacts.
