Can it help manage the size of my CLAUDE.md file?

Yes, it follows core principles to keep CLAUDE.md under 150 lines by moving detailed documentation to the /docs folder and keeping the root file focused on actionable steering instructions.

How does it determine what documentation needs updating?

It uses git diffs to see actual code changes and queries your issue tracker (via task-trellis) to understand the intended scope and requirements of the feature.

What files does the Documentation Updater modify?

The skill primarily monitors and updates CLAUDE.md (agent instructions), README.md, and any specialized technical documentation located within the /docs directory.

Does this skill require manual oversight?

The skill is designed to run as a subagent and provides a detailed summary of its work. If it encounters areas requiring human judgment, it flags them in the output summary for your review.

Learning & Documentation

Keeps project documentation, READMEs, and agent steering specs perfectly in sync with recent code changes and feature implementations.

Documentation Updater is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to automate the maintenance of project documentation by reviewing completed feature work and updating relevant files. It analyzes git diffs and issue descriptions to ensure that CLAUDE.md steering specs, README.md files, and /docs directories accurately reflect new features, API changes, and configuration updates. By acting as a subagent in the orchestration workflow, it eliminates documentation rot and ensures that both human developers and AI agents always have access to the authoritative, living specification of the codebase.
