sync website documentation with code changes

Covers Maintenance Documentation Technical Writing

Description

Update website docs to match recent code changes, cross-validating every flag against source. Use this skill whenever the user asks to: update documentation, sync docs with code, document a new flag or command, fix stale docs, or update the README. This skill covers all website/docs/ categories (commands, reference, understand, how-to, troubleshooting, getting-started) plus the built-in skill description and README. If you just implemented a feature and need to update docs, this is the skill to use. Never manually edit website docs without cross-validating flags against Go source first.

SKILL.md

Sync website documentation with recent code changes. $ARGUMENTS specifies scope: a command name (e.g., install), commit range, or omit to auto-detect from git diff HEAD~1.

Scope: This skill only updates website/docs/. It does NOT write Go code (use implement-feature) or CHANGELOG (use changelog).

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Changes

# Auto-detect recently changed code
git diff HEAD~1 --stat -- cmd/skillshare/ internal/

# Also check for structural changes that affect concept/reference docs
git diff HEAD~1 --stat -- internal/config/targets.yaml internal/audit/rules.yaml

Map changed files to affected documentation using this guide:

Command docs (website/docs/reference/commands/):

  • cmd/skillshare/<cmd>.gowebsite/docs/reference/commands/<cmd>.md
  • Flag changes, new subcommands, output format changes

Concept docs (website/docs/understand/):

  • internal/audit/understand/audit-engine.md
  • internal/sync/understand/sync-modes.md, understand/source-and-targets.md
  • internal/install/tracked.gounderstand/tracked-repositories.md
  • internal/config/understand/declarative-manifest.md
  • .skillshare/ project config changes → understand/project-skills.md
  • skills/skillshare/SKILL.md format → understand/skill-format.md

Reference docs (website/docs/reference/):

  • internal/config/targets.yamlreference/targets/
  • internal/audit/rules.yamlreference/commands/audit-rules.md
  • reference/appendix/ for CLI quick-reference tables

How-to guides (website/docs/how-to/):

  • New workflow patterns → how-to/daily-tasks/, how-to/advanced/, how-to/recipes/
  • Sharing/org features → how-to/sharing/

Troubleshooting (website/docs/troubleshooting/):

  • New error messages → troubleshooting/common-errors.md
  • FAQ additions → troubleshooting/faq.md

Getting started (website/docs/getting-started/):

  • Breaking changes to init/install flow → getting-started/first-sync.md
  • Quick reference updates → getting-started/quick-reference.md

Learn (website/docs/learn/):

  • New target integrations → learn/with-<tool>.md

Step 2: Cross-Validate Flags

For each affected command:

  1. Read the Go source to extract actual flags and behavior:
    grep -n 'flag\.\|Usage\|Args' cmd/skillshare/<cmd>.go
    
  2. Read the corresponding doc page:
    website/docs/commands/<cmd>.md
    
  3. Compare and fix:
    • New flags in code → add to docs with usage example
    • Removed flags from code → remove from docs
    • Changed behavior → update description
    • Every --flag in docs must have a matching grep hit in source

Step 3: Update Documentation

Apply changes following existing doc conventions:

  • Match heading structure of neighboring doc pages
  • Include CLI examples with expected output
  • Keep flag tables consistent in format

Step 4: Check Built-in Skill

If changes affect user-visible CLI behavior:

  1. Read skills/skillshare/SKILL.md
  2. Check if the built-in skill description needs updating
  3. Verify description stays under 1024 characters (CodeX limit)

Step 5: Check README

Review README.md for sections that may need updates:

  • Recent Updates callout
  • Why skillshare bullet points (5 selling points)
  • Highlights section (core feature examples)

Step 6: Build Verification

cd website && npm run build

Confirm no broken links or build errors.

Step 7: Report

List all changes made with rationale:

== Documentation Updates ==

Modified:
  website/docs/commands/install.md
    - Added --into flag documentation
    - Updated install examples

  skills/skillshare/SKILL.md
    - Added --into to feature list (desc: 987/1024 chars)

Build: PASS (no broken links)

Rules

  • Source of truth is code — docs must match what the code actually does
  • Every flag claim must be verified — grep source before writing docs
  • No speculative docs — never document planned but unimplemented features
  • No code changes — this skill only touches website/docs/, skills/skillshare/SKILL.md, and README.md
  • Preserve style — match existing doc page structure and tone
  • Built-in skill desc limit — must stay under 1024 characters
