| name | donny-docs-update |
| description | Generate or update up to nine project documentation files, each written and fact-checked against the live codebase by subagents. Use when project docs (README, ARCHITECTURE, API, etc.) are missing or stale; pass --verify-only to check accuracy without writing, or --force to regenerate all docs. |

Generate and update up to 9 documentation files for the current project. Each doc type is written by a donny-doc-writer subagent that explores the codebase directly - no hallucinated paths, phantom endpoints, or stale signatures.
Flag handling rule:
- The optional flags documented below are available behaviors, not implied active behaviors
- A flag is active only when its literal token appears in
$ARGUMENTS
- If a documented flag is absent from
$ARGUMENTS, treat it as inactive
--force: skip preservation prompts, regenerate all docs regardless of existing content or Donny markers--verify-only: check existing docs for accuracy against codebase, no generation (full verification requires Phase 4 verifier)- If
--force and --verify-only both appear in $ARGUMENTS, --force takes precedence
<execution_context>
@~/.claude/donny/workflows/docs-update.md
</execution_context>
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Available optional flags (documentation only - not automatically active):
--force - Regenerate all docs. Overwrites hand-written and Donny docs alike. No preservation prompts.--verify-only - Check existing docs for accuracy against the codebase. No files are written. Reports VERIFY marker count. Full codebase fact-checking requires the donny-doc-verifier agent (Phase 4).
Active flags must be derived from $ARGUMENTS:
--force is active only if the literal --force token is present in $ARGUMENTS--verify-only is active only if the literal --verify-only token is present in $ARGUMENTS- If neither token appears, run the standard full-phase generation flow
- Do not infer that a flag is active just because it is documented in this prompt
Execute the docs-update workflow from @~/.claude/donny/workflows/docs-update.md end-to-end.
Preserve all workflow gates (preservation_check, flag handling, wave execution, monorepo dispatch, commit, reporting).
