SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Post-ship documentation audits ensure shipped products reflect actual implementation by aligning READMEs, CLAUDE.md, architecture references, and INDEX files to what was released, preventing drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-updates machine-consumed docs (CLAUDE.md, architecture docs, INDEX.md) to reflect shipped changes.
  • Guardrails for user-facing docs: prompts before updating READMEs and uptime on-change logging.
  • Diff-driven conformance: detects added/removed APIs, config changes, and dependencies to maintain accurate references.

Quick Start

Run the document-release skill after a release to auto-sync docs to shipped changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate documentation updates after a code release?▼

Post-ship documentation updates can be automated by analyzing code diffs to detect new APIs, config changes, and dependencies, then applying those changes directly to machine-consumed docs like CLAUDE.md and INDEX.md.

What is post-ship documentation drift and how do I prevent it?▼

Post-ship documentation drift occurs when shipped code changes are not reflected in manuals. You prevent drift by running a diff analysis on the shipped code to identify documentation impacts and sync references.

Can I automatically update user-facing READMEs when APIs change?▼

You cannot fully automate user-facing README updates. Guardrails require the system to prompt for manual approval before updating READMEs, while machine-consumed docs like architecture docs are auto-updated.

How do I keep CLAUDE.md and INDEX.md files accurate after shipping?▼

To keep CLAUDE.md and INDEX.md accurate after shipping, run a post-release audit that detects added or removed APIs and applies auto-updates to these machine-consumed files to match the shipped implementation.

What is the best way to detect removed APIs for documentation conformance?▼

The best way to detect removed APIs for documentation conformance is using diff-driven analysis, which compares the project start state against shipped code to identify structural changes and maintain accurate references.
