Update Docs

Run this after any meaningful change to the codebase. It checks every documentation location, determines what's stale, and updates it.

Step 1 — Understand what changed

# Changes on the current branch vs master
git log --oneline master..HEAD
git diff --stat master..HEAD

# Or if working on master, recent commits
git log --oneline -10

Summarize the changes in one sentence. Classify:

Type Example
New command Added outport open
Command change New flag, changed output format
Config change New field in .outport.yml
Infrastructure Build, CI, dependency changes
Bug fix Fixed registry save race condition

Step 2 — Check each documentation location

Go through every location below. For each one, check whether it's current.

README.md

Check What to look for
Commands list Does it match actual commands in cmd/*.go?
Config example Does .outport.yml example match current schema?
"How It Works" section Does it reflect current allocation behavior?
Install instructions Are they still accurate?

CLAUDE.md

Check What to look for
Architecture section Do package descriptions match current code?
CLI commands list Does it include all commands in cmd/*.go?
Key design decisions Do they reflect current behavior?
Development commands Does the justfile have new/changed recipes?

cmd/init.go presets

Check What to look for
Service presets Does the presets slice include all standard services?
Preset fields Do presets use the current config field names?

project/releasing.md

Check What to look for
Release process Does it match current CI workflow?
Prerequisites Are tools and secrets still correct?

.goreleaser.yml

Check What to look for
Build targets Do platforms match what's documented?
Homebrew formula Is the tap config current?

docs/ (VitePress site)

Check What to look for
docs/reference/commands.md Does it list all commands in cmd/*.go?
docs/reference/configuration.md Does it cover all .outport.yml fields?
docs/guide/getting-started.md Does it reflect current workflow?
docs/guide/examples.md Are examples using current config syntax?
docs/guide/tips.md Are troubleshooting tips still accurate?

skills/outport/SKILL.md

Check What to look for
Quick Reference commands Does it list all commands?
Common Tasks section Does it cover current capabilities?
Trigger keywords Do they cover all features?

Step 3 — Report findings

Present as a table, only showing items that need attention:

| Status | File | What needs updating |
|--------|------|---------------------|
| STALE  | README.md | Commands list missing `open` |
| OK     | CLAUDE.md | — |

Step 4 — Make the updates

For each STALE item, update the file. Rules:

  • Don't duplicate content. README is the user-facing overview. CLAUDE.md is the agent-facing architecture guide. Don't copy between them.
  • README should describe what commands do, not how they're implemented.
  • CLAUDE.md should describe architecture and conventions, not user-facing docs.

Quick reference — what to update per change type

Change type Always update Check if needed
New command README commands, CLAUDE.md commands, docs/reference/commands.md, skills/outport/SKILL.md init presets, docs/guide/getting-started.md, docs/guide/tips.md
Config schema change README config example, CLAUDE.md config description, docs/reference/configuration.md init presets, docs/guide/examples.md
New convention CLAUDE.md
Infrastructure releasing.md, CLAUDE.md dev commands
Bug fix README (if workaround documented), docs/guide/tips.md
