Agent skill
docs-sync
Keep documentation in sync with code changes across README, docs sites, API docs, runbooks, and configuration. Use when the user asks to update docs, ensure docs match behavior, or prepare docs for a release/PR.

Docs sync
Goal
Update documentation so it matches the current code and is easy for the target audience to follow.
Inputs to ask for (if missing)
- What changed (feature/bugfix/refactor) and who the docs are for.
- Which docs surfaces matter: README,
/docs, wiki, runbooks, API spec, changelog, onboarding. - Any required format/voice (company style guide, "keep it short", etc.).
Workflow (checklist)
- Identify what changed
- Use the diff to locate impacted areas:
git diff --name-onlygit diff
- Use the diff to locate impacted areas:
- Inventory docs surfaces in the repo
- Common locations:
README.md,docs/,CONTRIBUTING.md,CHANGELOG.md,openapi.*,schema.graphql,adr/,runbooks/. - For Spring: check for generated OpenAPI/Swagger docs or endpoint annotations.
- For Next/TypeScript: check for docs pages, Storybook, or typed API clients.
- If your repo uses
docs/as the primary doc root, seereferences/docs-structure.mdfor a suggested layout.
- Common locations:
- Decide what needs updating
- Ensure docs cover:
- setup and local dev commands
- required env vars / config keys
- API contract changes (request/response examples)
- DB migrations and operational steps
- behavior changes visible to users
- If the change is an architectural/behavioral decision, add or update an ADR (use
references/adr-template.md).
- Ensure docs cover:
- Apply edits with minimal churn
- Prefer small, targeted edits over rewrites.
- Add examples that are copy/paste runnable.
- Keep headings stable to avoid breaking deep links.
- Use templates in
references/when helpful.
- Verify docs are consistent
- Run the repo's existing doc checks if present (md lint, docs build, site build).
- At minimum: ensure code fences match the actual commands and file paths, and env var names match the code.
Deliverable
Provide:
- The list of docs files updated and why.
- A short "How to verify" section (commands or manual checks).
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
vps-checkup
SSH into an Ubuntu VPS (Docker) for a read-only health/security/update report (UFW + fail2ban) and propose fixes; apply updates/restarts only with explicit confirmation. Use when the user wants a read-only VPS health/security check.
ci-fix
Fix GitHub Actions CI failures using GitHub CLI (gh): inspect runs/logs, identify root cause, patch workflows/code, rerun jobs, and summarize verification. Use when GitHub Actions CI is failing or needs diagnosis.
dependency-upgrader
Upgrade dependencies for Java/Kotlin (Gradle/Maven) and TypeScript/Node projects with minimal risk: plan the bump, apply changes incrementally, run tests/builds, and document breaking changes. Use when the user asks to bump deps, update frameworks, or address CVEs.
plan-work
Plan work before coding: do repo research, analyze options/risks, and ask clarifying questions before proposing an implementation plan. Use when the user asks for a plan, design/approach, scope breakdown, or implementation steps.
coding-guidelines-gen
Generate nested AGENTS.md coding guidelines per module (monorepo-aware), detect languages/tooling, ask architecture preferences, and set up missing formatters/linters (Spotless for JVM). Use when the user wants module-scoped AGENTS.md coding guidelines or to set up missing formatters/linters.
ui-ux-pro-max
Use when designing, building, or refining frontend UI/UX: layouts, components, visual systems, typography, color, and UX patterns for websites, landing pages, dashboards, and product interfaces. Provides searchable styles, palettes, font pairings, charts, and stack best practices (React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, SwiftUI, React Native, Flutter, Tailwind).
