- description
- Analyze master branch implementation and configuration to find missing, incorrect, or outdated documentation in docs/, README.md, and per-package READMEs. Use when asked to audit doc coverage, sync docs with code, or propose doc updates/structure changes. Provide a report and ask for approval before editing docs.
# Docs Sync
## Overview
Identify doc coverage gaps and inaccuracies by comparing master branch features and configuration options against the current docs, then propose targeted improvements.
## Workflow
1. Confirm scope and base branch
- Identify the current branch and default branch (`master`).
- Prefer analyzing the current branch to keep work aligned with in-flight changes.
- If the current branch is not `master`, analyze only the diff vs `master` to scope doc updates.
- Avoid switching branches if it would disrupt local changes; use `git show master:<path>` or `git worktree add` when needed.
2. Build a feature inventory from the selected scope
- If on `master`: inventory the full surface area and review docs comprehensively.
- If not on `master`: inventory only changes vs `master` (feature additions/changes/removals).
- Focus on user-facing behavior: public exports, client/cluster/sentinel/pool config options, new or changed commands, connection-string options, default values, and documented runtime behaviors.
- Capture evidence for each item (file path + symbol/setting).
- Use targeted search to find option types and feature flags (for example: `rg "Options"`, `rg "interface .*Options"`, `rg "export"` under `packages/*/lib`).
- For Redis command behavior or server-side semantics, treat the source code (`parseCommand`/`transformReply` in `packages/*/lib/commands`) as the source of truth; consult [redis.io/commands](https://redis.io/commands) only to confirm server semantics when discrepancies appear.
3. Doc-first pass: review existing pages
- Walk each relevant page under `docs/`, the top-level `README.md`, and each `packages/*/README.md`.
- Identify missing mentions of important, supported options (opt-in flags, config), customization points, or new features from `packages/`.
- Propose additions where users would reasonably expect to find them on that page.
4. Code-first pass: map features to docs
- Review the current docs layout under `docs/` (e.g. `client-configuration.md`, `clustering.md`, `sentinel.md`, `pool.md`, `RESP.md`, `transactions.md`, `programmability.md`, `pub-sub.md`, `scan-iterators.md`, `command-options.md`).
- Determine the best page/section for each feature based on existing patterns and package boundaries.
- Identify features that lack any doc page or have a page but no corresponding content.
- Note when a structural adjustment would improve discoverability.
5. Detect gaps and inaccuracies
- **Missing**: features/configs present in master but absent in docs.
- **Incorrect/outdated**: names, defaults, or behaviors that diverge from master.
- **Structural issues** (optional): pages overloaded, missing overviews, or mis-grouped topics.
6. Produce a Docs Sync Report and ask for approval
- Provide a clear report with evidence, suggested doc locations, and proposed edits.
- Ask the user whether to proceed with doc updates.
7. If approved, apply changes
- Edit docs under `docs/`, `README.md`, and the relevant `packages/*/README.md`.
- Keep changes aligned with the existing docs style and navigation.
- Place any runnable code snippets under `examples/` or `doctests/`, mirroring existing patterns.
- Verify any snippet you add still compiles with `npm run build` and fix issues before handoff.
## Output format
Use this template when reporting findings:
Docs Sync Report
- Doc-first findings
- Page + missing content → evidence + suggested insertion point
- Code-first gaps
- Feature + evidence → suggested doc page/section (or missing page)
- Incorrect or outdated docs
- Doc file + issue + correct info + evidence
- Structural suggestions (optional)
- Proposed change + rationale
- Proposed edits
- Doc file → concise change summary
- Questions for the user
