Docs Sync (skill)

This skill is the diffing playbook the @docs-auditor agent runs. You can also invoke it directly with /docs-sync.

It produces a drift report. It does not write to docs/. Apply changes by delegating to @author.

Inputs

• $ARGUMENTS (optional) — restrict the audit to one of: paths | tracks | components | syntax | harness | routes | lifecycle | links | all. Default: all.

Procedure

Step 1 — Snapshot the code

Collect, in this order:

1. src/data/paths.ts exports.
2. All path.json files under src/content/community/*/.
3. Frontmatter (id, number, title, subtitle) of every markdown file under src/content/{tutorial,advanced,terminal}/.
4. The list of files under src/components/diagrams/ (excluding index.ts).
5. The list of files under .github/{instructions,prompts,skills,agents,hooks}/.
6. The route table from src/App.tsx.

Step 2 — Snapshot the docs

Collect:

1. The track tables in docs/tracks/{foundation,agentic,terminal}.md and the contribution-shape table in docs/community-contributions.md.
2. The component/diagram references in docs/components.md.
3. The custom-syntax table in docs/content-architecture.md (§5) and the route table (§2).
4. The harness inventory tables in docs/harness.md.
5. The status table in docs/lifecycle.md.
6. All relative links in every docs/*.md file.

Step 3 — Diff

Compare each pair from Steps 1 and 2:

• Code item missing from docs → add to docs.
• Doc item missing from code → remove from docs (only if file is gone) or flag for human review (if file might be renamed).
• Mismatched fields (title, subtitle, status, applyTo, …) → update doc.
• Broken relative link → fix link.

Step 4 — Group findings

Group by target file in docs/. Each group becomes one section in the report.

Step 5 — Emit report

Use the template at templates/report.md (see below).

Report template

# Docs Sync — <ISO date>

Scope: `$ARGUMENTS`
Workspace: <git short SHA>

## Summary
- Files needing updates: N
- New items to document: N
- Items to remove: N
- Broken links: N

## docs/tracks/foundation.md
- ⚠️ Subtitle drift on Part 4: docs say "Different rules per folder", code says "Different rules for different folders".
- Proposed: update row.

## docs/components.md
- ❌ Diagram `NewFlowDiagram.tsx` exists in `src/components/diagrams/` but is not referenced.
- Proposed: add row to "Diagrams" section.

…

## Suggested next step
Run `@author` and paste this report.

Boundaries

• Do not write to docs/. Output only.
• Do not change content lifecycle statuses or example tracks.
• Do not run npm run build — that is the @reviewer's job. You may run it read-only if a link looks ambiguous.
• Treat .github/CONTENT_LIFECYCLE.md as the source of truth when it conflicts with docs/lifecycle.md.
