SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables teams to propagate documentation and infrastructure changes directly from the development branch to main without waiting for new package releases, reducing drift and speeding hotfix cycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe, categorized sync that differentiates between doc-only changes, infra/workflow changes, and actual code changes.
  • Provides a guided workflow to cherry-pick or reconcile branches, ensuring the dev and main histories stay clean.
  • Supports an automated rescue path via a helper script to apply doc fixes directly to main when needed.

Quick Start

Run a sync-main operation to push eligible changes from dev to main and reconcile histories.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync documentation changes from a dev branch to main without a release?

To sync documentation changes to main without a release, you can propagate eligible commits directly from your development branch. This categorizes changes as doc-only to guide safe cherry-picking and keep branch histories clean.

What is the best way to push infrastructure updates to main separately from code changes?

The best way to push infrastructure updates separately is by classifying them as infra-only changes. This allows targeted synchronization to main, avoiding the wait for a full package release and reducing configuration drift.

Can I cherry-pick commits from dev to main without creating divergent git histories?

Yes, you can cherry-pick commits while keeping git histories clean. The workflow guides reconciliation between dev and main branches, ensuring safe synchronization without creating complex or divergent commit logs.

How do I handle a failed synchronization or conflict when merging dev changes to main?

To handle failed synchronization or conflicts, an automated rescue path applies fixes directly to main. A helper script guides the reconciliation process to safely resolve issues and complete the sync.

When should I avoid directly syncing branch changes to main?

You should avoid directly syncing when changes involve actual code modifications rather than documentation or infrastructure. Code changes require standard release workflows, while this sync targets only docs, infra, and workflow updates.
