SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Projects accumulate stale or contradictory documentation after feature work, refactors, and configuration changes; this Skill ensures repository docs reflect the actual implementation rather than outdated summaries or changelog language.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Repository-first verification: inspect code, scripts, tests, and configuration to treat implementation as the source of truth before editing docs.
  • Evergreen rewriting: convert changelog-style or historical phrasing into present-state, user-facing documentation across README, docs/, and contributor guides.
  • Scope-aware updates: identify duplicated guidance and synchronize multiple doc surfaces to remove contradictions and placeholders.

Quick Start

Inspect the repository, verify commands and configuration against the codebase, and update README and related docs into evergreen present-state language.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update README files to match my codebase after a refactor?▼

To update README files after a refactor, inspect the source code, scripts, and tests to verify current commands and flags, then rewrite the documentation into evergreen present-state language that accurately reflects the implementation.

What is the best way to fix stale technical writing in a repository?▼

Fixing stale technical writing requires treating the implementation as the source of truth by inspecting configuration and tests, then converting outdated changelog phrasing into consistent user-facing documentation across all repo surfaces.

How do I synchronize duplicated guidance across contributor guides and docs?▼

Synchronize duplicated guidance by identifying contradictory placeholders across contributor guides and docs, then applying scope-aware updates to ensure all documentation surfaces reflect the same verified workflows and configuration details.

When do I need to refresh project documentation into evergreen wording?▼

Refresh project documentation into evergreen wording after feature changes, refactors, or configuration updates when historical changelog language no longer matches the actual implementation, creating contradictions for users.

Can I verify commands and configuration against the source code before editing docs?▼

Yes, repository-first verification inspects source code, scripts, tests, and configuration to validate commands, flags, options, and workflows before editing docs, ensuring updates match the actual implementation rather than assumptions.
