Only update English docs under docs/** and never touch translated docs under docs/ja, docs/ko, or docs/zh. Provide a report and ask for approval before editing docs. |
Docs Sync
Overview
Identify doc coverage gaps and inaccuracies by comparing main branch features and configuration options against the current docs structure, then propose targeted improvements.
Workflow
-
Confirm scope and base branch
- Identify the current branch and default branch (usually
main).
- Prefer analyzing the current branch to keep work aligned with in-flight changes.
- If the current branch is not
main, analyze only the diff vs main to scope doc updates.
- Avoid switching branches if it would disrupt local changes; use
git show main:<path> or git worktree add when needed.
-
Build a feature inventory from the selected scope
- If on
main: inventory the full surface area and review docs comprehensively.
- If not on
main: inventory only changes vs main (feature additions/changes/removals).
- Focus on user-facing behavior: public exports, configuration options, environment variables, CLI commands, 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 "Settings", rg "Config", rg "os.environ", rg "OPENAI_").
- When the topic involves OpenAI platform features, invoke
$openai-knowledge to pull current details from the OpenAI Developer Docs MCP server instead of guessing, while treating the SDK source code as the source of truth when discrepancies appear.
-
Doc-first pass: review existing pages
- Walk each relevant page under
docs/ (excluding docs/ja, docs/ko, and docs/zh).
- Identify missing mentions of important, supported options (opt-in flags, env vars), customization points, or new features from
src/agents/ and examples/.
- Propose additions where users would reasonably expect to find them on that page.
-
Code-first pass: map features to docs
- Review the current docs information architecture under
docs/ and mkdocs.yml.
- Determine the best page/section for each feature based on existing patterns and the API reference structure under
docs/ref.
- Identify features that lack any doc page or have a page but no corresponding content.
- Note when a structural adjustment would improve discoverability.
- When improving
docs/ref/* pages, treat the corresponding docstrings/comments in src/ as the source of truth. Prefer updating those code comments so regenerated reference docs stay correct, instead of hand-editing the generated pages.
-
Detect gaps and inaccuracies
- Missing: features/configs present in main but absent in docs.
- Incorrect/outdated: names, defaults, or behaviors that diverge from main.
- Structural issues (optional): pages overloaded, missing overviews, or mis-grouped topics.
-
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.
-
If approved, apply changes (English only)
- Edit only English docs in
docs/**.
- Do not edit
docs/ja, docs/ko, or docs/zh.
- Keep changes aligned with the existing docs style and navigation.
- Update
mkdocs.yml when adding or renaming pages.
- Build docs with
make build-docs after edits to verify the docs site still builds.
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
