Which files does Arch Sync analyze by default?

By default, it scans all Markdown files within the docs/architecture/ directory, but you can also target specific files using the --doc flag.

Does Arch Sync automatically modify my documentation?

No. Architecture documents are critical, so Arch Sync only proposes changes for human review and requires explicit approval before any edits are applied.

Can I use Arch Sync to add new modules to my documentation?

Yes. If the tool detects a new module in your codebase that isn't mentioned in your architecture docs, it will propose an addition to the relevant section.

How does the skill detect discrepancies?

It uses specialized scripts to compare the modules and types defined in your architecture docs against the actual directory structure and source-of-truth files like CLAUDE.md.

Aprendizaje y Documentación

Maintains documentation accuracy by comparing architectural blueprints with the current codebase structure and proposing updates.

Arch Sync bridges the gap between high-level documentation and actual implementation by analyzing your codebase's modules, types, and components against existing architecture files. It automatically identifies discrepancies such as missing module references, stale components that no longer exist, or type mismatches. Designed with a 'human-in-the-loop' philosophy, it never modifies critical architectural blueprints automatically; instead, it generates precise diff proposals for review, ensuring that your system's source of truth is maintained without manual overhead.
