SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams ensure documentation and design stay in sync with the actual codebase during refactoring by coordinating updates across requirements, specifications, technical design, and tests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Documentation synchronization: Create or update requirements, specifications, and technical design based on observed code behavior.
  • Test coverage alignment: Propose and implement test updates to reach the target 80% coverage and ensure current behavior is exercised.
  • Pre-refactor validation: Generate a validation summary and a ready-for-refactoring signal for human approval to reduce risk.

Quick Start

Use the Improve Code Quality Before Refactoring skill to prepare documentation and tests before performing a code refactor.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync code quality documentation before refactoring?▼

To sync code quality documentation before refactoring, update requirements, specifications, and technical design based on observed code behavior to ensure alignment.

What is the best way to update tests before a code refactor?▼

The best way to update tests before a code refactor is to expand or create new tests targeting the refactoring scope to meet an 80% coverage requirement.

Why do I need to align specifications and tech design with actual code behavior?▼

Aligning specifications and tech design with actual code behavior reduces refactoring risk by ensuring documentation accurately reflects the current system state.

Can I generate a validation report for human approval before refactoring?▼

Yes, you can generate a pre-refactor validation summary and a ready-for-refactoring signal for human approval to evaluate alignment and reduce risk.

Does this documentation synchronization process require a refactoring analysis?▼

Yes, this documentation synchronization process requires an available refactoring analysis and applies specifically to modules listed within that refactoring scope.

What happens if test coverage does not meet the 80% threshold before refactoring?▼

If test coverage does not meet the 80% threshold, the workflow proposes and implements test updates to ensure current behavior is fully exercised before proceeding.
