Documentation Management
Use this skill when code, setup, workflows, or project structure changes need to be reflected in docs.
Workflow
- Determine whether the task is
init, update, or summarize.
- Identify which docs are the source of truth in this repo.
- Update existing docs before creating new ones. If the repo lacks docs and the task calls for durable documentation, create a minimal structure under
docs/.
- Keep file paths, commands, and examples accurate.
- If external product, API, design, rollout, or synthesis context would improve the docs and the user enabled a relevant MCP, load the matching
mcp-* skill first.
- Cross-check plan artifacts if implementation changed the agreed approach.
Recommended Minimal Docs
Use these when initializing documentation or when the user asks for a fuller docs baseline:
README.md
docs/project-overview.md
docs/codebase-summary.md
docs/code-standards.md
docs/system-architecture.md
Relevant MCP Skills
mcp-context7 for exact external API or framework references
mcp-github for issue, PR, release, or workflow details that docs should reflect
mcp-figma for UI or design-system documentation inputs
mcp-sentry for incident or release context that changes operational docs
mcp-open-bridge for summarizing complex findings into durable docs
Output
Report:
- Docs created or updated
- Why they changed
- Any stale docs still needing work
