Workflow

Step 1: Detect

  • Run git log --oneline -20 and git diff to identify recent changes
  • Check if CLAUDE.md and README.md exist (create if missing)
  • Scan for .claude/agents/*.md, .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md, and .claude/rules/*.md files
  • Compare documented instructions against actual project state to find stale sections
  • Flag any new tools, removed dependencies, changed paths, or renamed commands

Step 2: Update

Read the relevant rule file for each document and apply updates:

  • rules/claude-md.md for CLAUDE.md changes
  • rules/readme-md.md for README.md changes
  • rules/agents.md for .claude/agents/ changes
  • rules/skills.md for .claude/skills/ changes
  • rules/rules.md for .claude/rules/ changes

Step 3: Validate

  • Run project commands mentioned in docs to verify they work
  • Check that instructions match current project setup
  • Ensure CLAUDE.md, README.md, agents, skills, and rules complement each other without duplication
