SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The docs-update skill helps ensure that your project's documentation stays in sync with code changes, reducing the risk of outdated information and saving time in manual verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Documentation Auditing: Verifies and updates documentation based on code or product changes.
  • Incremental Scanning: Saves and compares previous scans to identify and suggest updates for changed documentation.
  • Graphical Representation: Builds a graph of documentation nodes and their relationships for easy understanding.
  • Customization: Supports customizing the scanning process and handling specific topics or documentation nodes.
  • Use Case: After a feature merge, quickly identify and update documentation related to the new feature without manually checking each file.

Quick Start

Run the docs-update command in your repository to automatically scan and update documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions about docs-update

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update project documentation automatically after merging code changes in Git?▼

Documentation synchronization can be automated by running a command within your Git repository that analyzes file changes and suggests updates for related documentation nodes based on predefined relationships.

What is the best way to audit outdated documentation across a large codebase?▼

Auditing outdated documentation is handled through incremental scanning, which saves and compares previous scans against current file changes to identify and suggest necessary documentation updates efficiently.

How does graph-based documentation synchronization work?▼

Graph-based documentation synchronization builds a graph of documentation nodes and their relationships, evaluating code changes against this map to detect outdated information and suggest targeted updates.

Can I customize the scanning process to only target specific documentation topics?▼

The scanning process supports customization, allowing you to define specific topics or handle individual documentation nodes so that synchronization focuses only on the areas you need.

Do I need a specific Git repository setup to verify and update documentation?▼

Yes, this documentation verification operates within a Git repository context, requiring your project files and docs to be tracked in Git to detect changes and map relationships accurately.

What are the limitations of incremental documentation scanning?▼

Incremental scanning relies on predefined relationships and previous scan states, meaning newly added code files without established documentation node mappings may not be automatically detected for updates.
