// Keep README files current with project changes. Use when project structure changes, features added, or setup instructions modified. Suggests README updates based on code changes. Triggers on significant project changes, new features, dependency changes.
Automatic code quality and best practices analysis. Use proactively when files are modified, saved, or committed. Analyzes code style, patterns, potential bugs, and security basics. Triggers on file changes, git diff, code edits, quality mentions.
Generate conventional commit messages automatically. Use when user runs git commit, stages changes, or asks for commit message help. Analyzes git diff to create clear, descriptive conventional commit messages. Triggers on git commit, staged changes, commit message requests.
Automatically suggest tests for new functions and components. Use when new code is written, functions added, or user mentions testing. Creates test scaffolding with Jest, Vitest, Pytest patterns. Triggers on new functions, components, test requests, testing mentions.
Auto-generate API documentation from code and comments. Use when API endpoints change, or user mentions API docs. Creates OpenAPI/Swagger specs from code. Triggers on API file changes, documentation requests, endpoint additions.
Check dependencies for known vulnerabilities using npm audit, pip-audit, etc. Use when package.json or requirements.txt changes, or before deployments. Alerts on vulnerable dependencies. Triggers on dependency file changes, deployment prep, security mentions.
Detect exposed secrets, API keys, credentials, and tokens in code. Use before commits, on file saves, or when security is mentioned. Prevents accidental secret exposure. Triggers on file changes, git commits, security checks, .env file modifications.

## Detection Logic
### Change Analysis
I detect these changes automatically:
- **package.json** → Update dependencies section
- **New routes** → Update API documentation
- **.env.example** → Update environment variables
- **docker-compose.yml** → Update setup instructions
- **New features** → Update features list
### Section Mapping
```yaml
Code Change → README Section:
- New API endpoint → Usage / API Reference
- New dependency → Installation
- New env var → Configuration
- New feature → Features list
- Architecture change → Architecture section
I maintain your README structure:
# Suggested additions:
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- Docker (for development)
