SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that the directory structure on disk accurately reflects the paths defined in work/paths.md, preventing inconsistencies and ensuring documentation stays up-to-date.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Path Comparison: Compares the 'Tree' section of work/paths.md against the actual folder structure under work/.
  • Mismatch Reporting: Identifies and reports discrepancies, such as folders existing on disk but not in the paths.md tree, or vice-versa.
  • Automated Updates (Conditional): If new folders are found on disk that are not in paths.md, it triggers the document-paths skill to update the documentation.
  • Use Case: After creating new sub-folders within work/ for a project, this skill will automatically detect them and add them to work/paths.md, keeping your project documentation synchronized.

Quick Start

Run the verify-paths skill to check for any discrepancies between your disk folders and the paths.md file.

Frequently Asked Questions about verify-paths

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync directory structures on disk with paths.md documentation?

To sync directory structures with paths.md, compare the actual folders under work/ against the Tree section in work/paths.md to identify any missing paths and report discrepancies.

What happens if there are folders on disk that are missing from paths.md?

When folders exist on disk but are missing from paths.md, the verification process automatically triggers the document-paths skill to add the new disk paths and update the documentation.

Does the path verification process work if paths.md is missing?

Path verification does not work if paths.md is missing; the process skips entirely when the work/paths.md file is absent from the directory structure.

How do I validate file system paths against my project documentation tree?

You validate file system paths by comparing the directory structure under work/ against the defined Tree in work/paths.md to report paths present on disk but missing in the tree, and vice-versa.

Can I automatically update paths.md when new project folders are created?

You can automatically update paths.md when new folders are created by running path verification, which detects new disk paths and triggers document-paths to synchronize the documentation.
