Documentation Updates

Update documentation based on lessons learned from the conversation.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • You made a mistake or misunderstanding that could have been prevented
  • You discovered something that should be documented for future reference
  • The user asks you to "reflect" on what happened
  • After completing work where documentation gaps were discovered

Process

Momentarily pause any other actions to review the conversation and reflect on any mistakes or misunderstandings. Update any/all of the following as appropriate:

Files to Update

  1. Project-level documentation:

    • AGENTS.md in the current project
    • CLAUDE.md in the current project
    • Any project-specific documentation
  2. Global documentation:

    • Global AGENTS.md (~/.claude/AGENTS.md or similar)
    • Global CLAUDE.md
  3. Agent settings:

    • Per-project settings (.claude/settings.json, opencode.json)
    • Global settings (~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.claude/settings.json)
  4. Other project documentation:

    • README.md
    • Design documents
    • Architecture guides

What to Document

  • Common pitfalls encountered and how to avoid them
  • Important constraints or requirements discovered
  • Useful patterns or approaches found effective
  • Mistakes made and what should have been done differently
  • Configuration or setup nuances

Important Rule

Do NOT resume ANY previous actions until the user is satisfied that the docs have been appropriately updated.

Output

After updating documentation:

  • List the files that were modified
  • Summarize the changes made
  • Confirm with the user that the updates are adequate
