System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill updates existing README.md files after code changes, ensuring documentation stays aligned with project state.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Minimal, targeted updates: Apply small, style-preserving changes to existing README.md.
  • Trigger-aware maintenance: Detects when dependencies, environment changes, or configuration updates require documentation tweaks.
  • Guided handoff: Escalate to a higher-fidelity writing tool when a full rewrite is needed.

Quick Start

Use the updating-readme skill on a repository that already has a README.md to apply targeted updates after code changes.
