SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents documentation drift after code changes by synchronizing project markdown files with shipped updates, keeping technical information accurate and discoverable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Documentation Synchronization: Scans project markdown files, compares changes against diffs, and updates factual references such as paths, versions, and counts.
  • Consistency Validation: Checks documentation alignment across README files, changelogs, project metadata, and linked resources while identifying orphaned documents.
  • Use Case: After merging a feature release, use this Skill to refresh documentation, polish changelog entries, and ensure release notes match the implemented changes.

Quick Start

Use the skill-doc-sync skill to update documentation after the latest code changes and prepare the release documentation for review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent documentation drift after merging code changes?

To prevent documentation drift after merging code changes, synchronize project markdown files with shipped updates by comparing git diffs against existing documentation. This process updates factual references like file paths, version numbers, and resource counts to maintain technical accuracy.

What is the best way to update changelog entries to match shipped code?

The best way to update changelog entries to match shipped code is to analyze git diffs from the release and apply controlled updates to markdown files. This ensures release notes accurately reflect implemented features while validating cross-file consistency across project metadata.

How do I check markdown documentation consistency across a project?

Checking markdown documentation consistency across a project involves scanning linked resources, README files, and project metadata to identify orphaned documents and validate alignment. This ensures all technical references remain discoverable and accurate after release updates.

Does documentation synchronization work with sensitive narrative sections?

Documentation synchronization works with sensitive narrative sections by applying controlled updates with built-in safeguards. This prevents unintended modifications to narrative content while still refreshing factual references like paths and versions discovered through markdown analysis.

Can I automate release notes generation from git diff comparisons?

You can automate release notes generation from git diff comparisons by using markdown analysis and version tracking to synchronize project documentation. This controlled update process polishes changelog entries and ensures release notes match the implemented code changes.

When should I avoid automated documentation synchronization?

You should avoid automated documentation synchronization when updates require complex narrative restructuring or when sensitive documentation sections lack clear factual references. The process relies on git diff comparison and works best for updating paths, versions, and counts rather than rewriting explanatory prose.
