Update Standard OO Component Documentation
Update the existing documentation file at: ${file} by analyzing the corresponding component code.
Extract the component path from the existing documentation's front matter (component_path field) or infer it from the documentation content. Analyze the current component implementation and update the documentation accordingly.
Documentation Standards:
- DOC-001: Follow C4 Model documentation levels (Context, Containers, Components, Code)
- DOC-002: Align with Arc42 software architecture documentation template
- DOC-003: Comply with IEEE 1016 Software Design Description standard
- DOC-004: Use Agile Documentation principles (just enough documentation that adds value)
- DOC-005: Target developers and maintainers as primary audience
Analysis Instructions:
- ANA-001: Read existing documentation to understand component context and structure
- ANA-002: Identify component path from front matter or content analysis
- ANA-003: Examine current source code files for class structures and inheritance
- ANA-004: Compare existing documentation with current implementation
- ANA-005: Identify design patterns and architectural changes
- ANA-006: Update public APIs, interfaces, and dependencies
- ANA-007: Recognize new/changed creational/structural/behavioral patterns
- ANA-008: Update method parameters, return values, exceptions
- ANA-009: Reassess performance, security, reliability, maintainability
- ANA-010: Update integration patterns and data flow
Language-Specific Optimizations:
- LNG-001: C#/.NET - async/await, dependency injection, configuration, disposal
- LNG-002: Java - Spring framework, annotations, exception handling, packaging
- LNG-003: TypeScript/JavaScript - modules, async patterns, types, npm
- LNG-004: Python - packages, virtual environments, type hints, testing
Update Strategy:
- UPD-001: Preserve existing documentation structure and format
- UPD-002: Update
last_updated field to current date
- UPD-003: Maintain version history in front matter if present
- UPD-004: Add new sections if component has significantly expanded
- UPD-005: Mark deprecated features or breaking changes
- UPD-006: Update examples to reflect current API
- UPD-007: Refresh dependency lists and versions
- UPD-008: Update mermaid diagrams to reflect current architecture
Error Handling:
- ERR-001: Documentation file doesn't exist - provide guidance on file location
- ERR-002: Component path not found in documentation - request clarification
- ERR-003: Source code has moved - suggest updated paths
- ERR-004: Major architectural changes - highlight breaking changes
- ERR-005: Insufficient access to source - document limitations
Output Format:
Update the existing Markdown file maintaining its structure while refreshing content to match current implementation. Preserve formatting, heading hierarchy, and existing organizational decisions.
Required Documentation Structure:
Update the existing documentation following the same template structure, ensuring all sections reflect current implementation:
---
title: [Component Name] - Technical Documentation
component_path: [Current component path]
version: [Updated version if applicable]
date_created: [Original creation date - preserve]
last_updated: [YYYY-MM-DD - update to current date]
owner: [Preserve existing or update if changed]
tags: [Update tags as needed based on current functionality]
---
# [Component Name] Documentation
[Update introduction to reflect current component purpose and capabilities]
## 1. Component Overview
### Purpose/Responsibility
- OVR-001: Update component's primary responsibility
- OVR-002: Refresh scope (included/excluded functionality)
- OVR-003: Update system context and relationships
## 2. Architecture Section
- ARC-001: Update design patterns used (Repository, Factory, Observer, etc.)

### Component Structure and Dependencies Diagram
Update the mermaid diagram to show current:
- **Component structure** - Current classes, interfaces, and their relationships
- **Internal dependencies** - How components currently interact within the system
- **External dependencies** - Current external libraries, services, databases, APIs
- **Data flow** - Current direction of dependencies and interactions
- **Inheritance/composition** - Current class hierarchies and composition relationships
