SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the common issue of documentation drift, where new features and code changes are implemented but the project documentation remains outdated or incomplete.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gap Analysis: Automatically identifies undocumented features by comparing git history and completed issues against existing documentation.
  • Automated Stubs: Generates inline documentation stubs for missing sections, ensuring developers have a clear starting point for writing docs.
  • Issue Tracking: Creates structured documentation tasks for gaps that require further research or design.

Quick Start

Run the update-docs skill to analyze all changes since the last documentation update and automatically draft stubs for any missing coverage.

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

Documentation drift is the gradual misalignment between project documentation and source code, occurring when new features and API modifications are implemented but the docs remain outdated. It complicates maintenance and causes user confusion.

How do I find undocumented features using git history?▼

Yes, it creates structured documentation tasks within your issue tracking workflow for identified gaps that require further research or design, ensuring complex missing sections are actively tracked for future resolution.

What is documentation drift and how does automated stub generation fix it?▼

Automated stub generation fixes documentation drift by generating inline placeholder sections for missing coverage immediately after detecting undocumented changes. This provides developers with a clear starting point for writing the necessary docs.

Does this documentation maintenance tool require specific issue tracking databases?▼

The metadata does not specify a required issue tracking database, but the skill analyzes source code changes and completed issues by cross-referencing them with existing documentation to detect gaps and facilitate maintenance workflows.
