Automatically detects outdated project documentation by analyzing code changes and provides smart update suggestions.

The Doc Consistency Checker is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to bridge the gap between rapidly evolving codebases and their high-level documentation. By analyzing git diffs across API changes, feature additions, and architectural shifts, it identifies sections in files like README.md and CLAUDE.md that have become stale. It offers a non-destructive workflow where developers can review suggested diffs, ensuring that project guides, installation instructions, and directory structures remain accurate without manual auditing.
