SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Synchronizes documentation with code changes by scanning for stale, missing, or contradictory docs and updating them to reflect the actual implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Keeps README, API references, and developer guides aligned with the latest code changes.
  • Avoids generating unnecessary files while updating only relevant docs.
  • Works in post-commit or pre-release workflows to ensure docs accuracy before deployment.

Quick Start

Automatically align documentation with the latest code changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep documentation in sync with code changes automatically?

You can keep documentation in sync with code changes by parsing git diffs to identify modified files and updating README, CLAUDE docs, and API references to match the actual implementation. This avoids generating unnecessary files while updating only relevant docs.

Why does my README have stale or contradictory information after updating my codebase?

Your README has stale or contradictory information because manual documentation updates often lag behind codebase changes. Scanning git diffs after code commits identifies outdated content and aligns developer guides with the latest implementation.

Can I update API references and frontmatter content based on a git diff?

Yes, you can update API references and frontmatter content based on a git diff. The process parses the diff output, detects affected documentation sections, and modifies only the relevant frontmatter and content to reflect the new code state.

Does this documentation synchronization approach work in a pre-release workflow?

Yes, documentation synchronization works in both post-commit and pre-release workflows. Running during these stages ensures docs accuracy before deployment by validating that all developer guides and API references reflect the committed codebase changes.

What is the best way to avoid modifying unrelated files when updating docs?

The best way to avoid modifying unrelated files when updating docs is to scope updates strictly to the parsed git diff. By detecting only the documentation sections affected by the code changes, the process leaves unrelated files untouched.

When do I need to scan for missing or contradictory documentation in my repository?

You need to scan for missing or contradictory documentation when your codebase changes introduce new features or modify existing APIs. Running a diff-based check post-commit detects discrepancies and updates the docs to reflect the actual implementation.
