학습 및 문서화

Maintains project documentation, setup guides, and operational references by synchronizing them with code changes to prevent technical debt.

The Documentation Updater skill ensures that project documentation remains a first-class citizen during the development process. It automatically identifies when code changes—such as new environment variables, infrastructure shifts, or modified integration patterns—require updates to READMEs, operational guides, and reference documents. By prioritizing executable commands, accurate file paths, and clear cross-linking, this skill eliminates documentation drift and ensures that onboarding and deployment instructions stay functional as the codebase evolves.
