SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill keeps CLAUDE.md and README.md aligned with the current project state, reducing drift between code and documentation and streamlining maintenance workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Documentation synchronization: Automatically detect changes in the codebase and suggest corresponding updates to CLAUDE.md and README.md.
  • Audit and update steps: Review installation, usage, references, and status sections to ensure accuracy and completeness.
  • Link validation: Validate external references and badges to ensure they remain correct over time.
  • Use Case: When a new tool is added or an API changes, update the docs to reflect installation steps and usage examples.

Quick Start

Run the documentation synchronization process to compare CLAUDE.md and README.md with the repository structure, then apply the suggested updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep README.md and CLAUDE.md in sync with code changes?

To keep README.md and CLAUDE.md in sync with code changes, you run a documentation synchronization process that scans the codebase for modifications and cross-references them against existing documentation to suggest targeted updates.

What is the best way to validate external links and badges in project documentation?

Validating external links and badges in project documentation is handled by scanning references within README.md and CLAUDE.md, checking that URLs remain correct over time, and aligning them with the current tooling setup.

How do I update installation steps and usage examples after an API change?

Updating installation steps and usage examples after an API change involves auditing the documentation sections, detecting codebase drift, and applying suggested updates to reflect the new project state.

Does this documentation synchronization process work without external dependencies?

Yes, this documentation synchronization process works without external dependencies, relying entirely on its internal logic to scan the repository structure, validate links, and compare documentation against the codebase.

When do I need to audit my project documentation for consistency?

You need to audit project documentation for consistency whenever a new tool is added, an API changes, or repository structure shifts, ensuring installation steps, usage examples, and status sections remain accurate and complete.
