How does it handle environment variables?

The skill identifies changes in .env files or bootstrap scripts and ensures the documentation reflects the correct sourcing rules and variable requirements for local or production environments.

Does it work with specific cloud providers?

While it includes specialized logic for AWS CDK and serverless stacks, its core principles of documentation maintenance apply to any technical project requiring synchronized guides.

Does it verify if commands are executable?

Yes, it ensures that documented commands match the scripts defined in your package.json and provides quick verification steps for new workflows.

Can it detect broken links or paths?

Yes, it specifically checks for drift by confirming that referenced scripts exist in package.json and that file paths mentioned in the docs actually exist in the repository.

Will it overwrite my entire README?

No, it follows a principle of updating the smallest set of relevant sections to restore accuracy while maintaining the existing tone and structure of your files.

Learning & Documentation

Synchronizes technical documentation with code, configuration, and infrastructure changes to ensure accuracy across READMEs and operational guides.

About

The Documentation Updater skill automates the maintenance of project documentation, ensuring that files like README.md, AGENTS.md, and operational guides stay updated alongside feature implementations and refactors. It is particularly effective for projects involving complex infrastructure like AWS CDK and Lambdas, where it monitors changes to environment variables, scripts, and deployment workflows. By enforcing principles like documentation executability and cross-linking, it prevents documentation drift and ensures that onboarding instructions, command-line examples, and operational references remain reliable and current.

Key Features

Validates environment variables and setup scripts for accuracy
Synchronizes README and operational guides with recent code changes
Automates cross-linking between files to prevent information duplication
Maintains consistency across AWS infrastructure and deployment documentation
0 GitHub stars
Verifies that documented commands and file paths remain executable

Use Cases

Updating setup instructions after changing environment variable requirements or secrets
Modifying operational guides when new AWS CDK resources or Lambda functions are added
Ensuring local development docs match changes in Docker or LocalStack configurations
