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.

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.
