Can I use this for internal architecture changes?

Absolutely. It is designed to help with both public-facing API migration guides and internal architecture transition documentation.

How does the Migration Guide Creator identify what needs documenting?

The skill uses file analysis and grep tools to identify changes in the codebase, such as modified API signatures or deprecated functions, to determine where migration instructions are necessary.

Does it support different documentation formats?

Yes, it primarily generates production-ready Markdown that can be easily integrated into Git repositories, wikis, or static site generators.

When does this skill activate?

It activates automatically when you mention 'migration guide creator' or ask Claude for help documenting version transitions and software upgrades.
