Documentation Maintenance & Sync FAQs

Question 1

What is documentation drift and how does this skill fix it?

Accepted Answer

Documentation drift occurs when code evolves but documentation remains static. This skill fixes it by requiring a two-phase analysis of code changes followed by a targeted update of all relevant documentation files before code is merged.

Question 2

Can I use this for trivial changes like typo fixes?

Accepted Answer

While you can, the skill is specifically designed for substantive changes where documentation might become outdated. For trivial formatting or typo fixes, a full documentation review may not be necessary.

Question 3

When is the best time to trigger this skill?

Accepted Answer

The ideal time is after completing a feature or bugfix and before creating a pull request or merging a branch. It can also be used whenever a git diff shows significant changes.

Question 4

How does it handle CLAUDE.md specifically?

Accepted Answer

It treats CLAUDE.md as a living document for AI instructions and project standards, ensuring that any new patterns or implementation lessons learned during coding are captured for future sessions.

Question 5

Does this skill work with any programming language?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is language-agnostic. It focuses on project documentation files like README.md, CLAUDE.md, and files within a docs/ directory, regardless of the underlying codebase language.
