What is the Doc-Architect skill?

Doc-Architect is a Claude Code skill that analyzes feature requirements to generate a detailed checklist of necessary documentation updates across design docs, READMEs, and API references.

Which planning tools does this skill integrate with?

It is designed to work with /ultra-planner, /make-a-plan, and /issue-to-impl workflows to ensure documentation is prioritized throughout the development cycle.

How do I generate a preview of documentation changes?

You can use the /doc-architect --diff command to generate markdown diff previews that show exactly what content should be added or modified in your existing documentation files.

Can Doc-Architect identify which files need to be created?

Yes, the skill identifies whether a document needs to be created from scratch (like a new tutorial) or simply updated based on the specific feature requirements.
