Update Living Docs
Update repository living docs after meaningful implementation or decision changes.
When To Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- update docs
- sync docs
- record decisions
- reflect latest progress in living docs
Target Docs
docs/STATUS.md: progress, done/in-progress/backlog
docs/DECISIONS.md: append-only technical decisions with IDs
docs/CONVENTIONS.md: workflow/coding conventions when rules change
Workflow
- Collect facts from current conversation and actual code changes.
- Read current living docs.
- Update only relevant sections.
- Keep claims aligned with implemented reality (no future work as done).
- Return a short summary of what changed.
Rules
- Prefer append/update over large rewrites.
- Keep decision entries structured and traceable (e.g.
DEC-010).
- If nothing should change, explicitly say no doc update is needed.
- Do not invent completed work or test results.
