When & Why to Use This Skill

The Docs Updater is a specialized Claude skill designed to eliminate documentation debt by automatically synchronizing technical documents with real-time code changes. It streamlines the maintenance of API specifications, architecture diagrams, README files, and AI context (CLAUDE.MD), ensuring that project documentation remains a reliable and accurate source of truth throughout the development lifecycle.

Use Cases

  • Automating API documentation updates: Automatically reflect changes in database schemas or Edge Functions within your API contract files (e.g., 03-API.md).
  • Scheduled Documentation Audits: Use cron-based execution to periodically scan the repository for stale documentation and generate detailed reports on missing or outdated sections.
  • Changelog Management: Streamline the creation of structured, importance-leveled changelog entries for both human readers and database-driven admin panels.
  • Architecture Synchronization: Keep system design documents and architecture diagrams in sync with major refactoring or new feature implementations.
  • AI Context Optimization: Maintain the CLAUDE.MD file to ensure AI assistants always have the most current project conventions and repository structure.

Docs Updater

Keep documentation in sync with code. Generates concise, user-friendly summaries.

Context Files (Read First)

For current state, read from Docs/context/:

  • Docs/context/conventions.md - Documentation standards
  • Docs/context/repo-structure.md - File organization
  • Docs/ai/CHANGELOG.md - Recent changes to sync

Quick Summary Format

Every doc should start with a TL;DR section for human readers:

# Document Title

> **TL;DR:** [1-2 sentence summary of what this covers]
>
> **Key Points:**
> - [Most important fact 1]
> - [Most important fact 2]
> - [Most important fact 3]
>
> **Quick Links:** [Table](#tables) | [RPC](#rpc-functions) | [Edge Functions](#edge-functions)

Documentation Files

Doc Purpose Update Trigger
CLAUDE.MD AI context Architecture changes
README.md Project overview Feature/setup changes
Docs/01-PRD.md Requirements Vision changes
Docs/02-DESIGN.md Architecture System design changes
Docs/03-API.md API contracts DB/RPC/Edge changes
Docs/06-AI-ARCHITECTURE.md AI system AI feature changes
Docs/07-ADMIN-GUIDE.md Admin panel Admin changes
Docs/13-SUBSCRIPTION-SYSTEM.md Plans/quotas Subscription changes

Cron/Scheduled Invocation

This skill supports automated execution for documentation audits.

Invocation Modes

Manual: claude /docs-updater "check api docs are current"

Scheduled (cron): Set up with CI/CD or cron job:

# Weekly docs audit (Sundays at midnight)
0 0 * * 0 claude --skill docs-updater --task "audit" --output report.md

# Pre-release docs check
claude --skill docs-updater --task "release-check" --output docs-status.md

Supported Tasks

Task Description Output
audit Check all docs for staleness Markdown report
release-check Pre-release documentation verification Pass/fail + issues
sync-schemas Update docs from database schema Updated doc files
generate-api Generate API docs from Edge Functions API documentation

Audit Report Format

# Documentation Audit Report
Generated: 2026-01-08

## Summary
- Total docs: 15
- Up-to-date: 12
- Needs update: 3
- Critical: 1

## Issues Found

### Critical
- [ ] `03-API.md`: Missing `token_pools` table (added 2026-01-07)

### Warnings
- [ ] `02-DESIGN.md`: Edge Function list outdated
- [ ] `07-ADMIN-GUIDE.md`: Missing Subscriptions page section

## Recommendations
1. Run `sync-schemas` to update API docs
2. Add new admin page to guide

Writing User-Friendly Summaries

Good Summary (DO)

> **TL;DR:** Token-based quota system limits AI usage per subscription plan.
>
> **Key Points:**
> - Users get tokens per 6-hour window (Guest: 50, Pro: 500)
> - Each AI operation costs fixed tokens (Search: 20, Study: 100)
> - Admin can adjust all limits via `/admin/subscriptions`

Bad Summary (DON'T)

## Overview
This document describes the token pool subscription system architecture
which was redesigned from a complex per-feature quota model...

Update Workflow

  1. Identify change type → Which docs affected?
  2. Update TL;DR first → Most critical information
  3. Update details → Tables, examples, diagrams
  4. Cross-reference → Update related docs
  5. Update changelog → If significant (see criteria below)
  6. Validate → Run audit task

Changelog Decision

After updating docs, add a changelog entry if ANY of these apply:

  • New feature or capability added
  • Database schema changed (tables, columns, migrations)
  • API changed (RPC, Edge Function, breaking change)
  • Major refactoring (hooks, components extracted/split)
  • Bug fix with user-visible impact

Skip changelog for: typo fixes, comment updates, minor doc rewording.


Lean Changelog (Database)

Primary changelog system - stored in admin.changelog_entries table.

Quick Add (SQL)

INSERT INTO admin.changelog_entries (description, category, importance)
VALUES ('Description in Finnish', 'feature', 2);

Importance Levels

Level Label When to Use
1 Saavutus Plan completed, major milestone, bundled tasks
2 Tärkeä Significant feature, important fix, refactoring
3 Normaali Standard change (default)
4 Tekninen Minor technical detail

Achievement Rules

Always Level 1:

  • Plan was made and implemented
  • Multiple related tasks bundled as one
  • Major refactoring or new system

Always Level 2:

  • Refactoring (use 1 if major)
  • New user-visible feature
  • Important bug fix

Skip changelog: Typo fixes, comments, failed attempts.

Categories

feature | fix | refactor | docs | chore

Admin UI

Manage at /admin/changelog → "Muutokset" tab.

Full guide: See references/ai-changelog-guide.md


Detailed Changelog (Markdown)

For verbose documentation, use Docs/ai/CHANGELOG.md.

When to Add Changelog Entries

Add entries for significant changes:

  • New features implemented
  • Database schema changes (new tables, columns, migrations)
  • API changes (new RPCs, Edge Functions, signature changes)
  • Breaking changes
  • Major refactoring (hook extractions, component splits)
  • Bug fixes with significant impact
  • New admin pages or tools

Entry Format

### Summary
One paragraph describing what changed and why.

**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD

### Problem
Why was this change needed? What was the motivation?

### Solution
What was implemented? High-level approach.

### Files Created
- `path/to/new-file.ts` - Brief description

### Files Modified
- `path/to/existing-file.ts` - What changed

### Impact
- **Files:** N (number of files affected)
- **Breaking:** Yes/No
- **Migration:** migration_filename.sql (if applicable)

[SCHEMA] Database table/column changes
[API] RPC or Edge Function changes
[COMPONENT] React component refactoring
[BREAKING] Breaking changes (often combined with others)
[FIX] Bug fixes with significant impact
[REFACTOR] Code restructuring without behavior change
[ADMIN] Admin panel additions/changes

Creating Releases

When releasing a new version:

  1. Add release header at top of changelog (after main title):

    ## v1.X.0 - YYYY-MM-DD
    
    Brief summary of this release.
    
    ---
    
  2. Group unreleased changes under the new version header

  3. Mark breaking changes clearly with [BREAKING] tag

log-change Add new entry to changelog Updated CHANGELOG.md
release Create new version release header Version header added

Admin Dashboard

The changelog can be viewed and edited at /admin/changelog:
