SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires ast, ast-grep, ccc, qmd, provenance-tracking, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of updating existing skills while preserving developer-authored content and ensuring accurate provenance tracking of changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surgical Updates: Updates skills based on source code changes, re-extracting only affected exports and preserving [MANUAL] sections.
  • Provenance Tracking: Ensures every regenerated instruction traces back to code with file:line citations.
  • Workflow Automation: Automates the update process with predefined stages and rules for change detection, re-extraction, merging, validation, and reporting.
  • Stack Skill Support: Handles stack skills by re-composing from updated constituents using skf-create-stack-skill.

Quick Start

Run the skf-update-skill command with the path to the skill directory or skill name.

Frequently Asked Questions about skf-update-skill

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I update existing code documentation without losing manually authored sections?▼

To update existing code documentation without losing manual sections, use surgical updates that re-extract only affected exports while preserving developer-authored [MANUAL] content. This ensures source code changes are reflected without overwriting custom instructions.

What is provenance tracking for source code analysis?▼

Provenance tracking for source code analysis ensures every regenerated instruction traces back to the original code with file:line citations. This mechanism maintains a verifiable link between generated documentation and its source.

Do I need Python and AST tools to automate skill updates?▼

Yes, you need Python and external AST analysis tools like ast-grep to automate skill updates. These dependencies provide the semantic enrichment and code analysis required for change detection and re-extraction operations.

How do I re-compose stack skills after updating underlying source code?▼

To re-compose stack skills after updating source code, use the skf-create-stack-skill operation to merge updated constituents. This handles stack skill support by re-composing from the individually updated base skills.

What is the best way to merge regenerated code analysis with existing skill data?▼

The best way to merge regenerated code analysis with existing skill data is through an automated workflow with predefined stages for change detection, re-extraction, merging, validation, and reporting. This preserves provenance tracking.
