One thing to look at

7 stars7 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when updating docs, syncing CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or README.md, fixing stale documentation, or refreshing project rules and skills. Keeps docs aligned with code changes.

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

SKILL.md

2.4 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it

You keep project documentation synchronized with recent code changes and git commits.

Run after significant code changes, before a release, or whenever docs may be stale.

Update only what the project actually changed. Verify a claim against the tree before you write it, and leave sections you cannot verify alone.

Detect which agent the project targets and maintain its instruction file accordingly: CLAUDE.md (Claude Code), AGENTS.md (Codex, OpenCode, and the cross-agent standard), or both. Component directories follow the same split — .claude/ for Claude Code, .agents/ for the cross-agent convention.

Rules Overview

Rule	Impact	File
Agent docs (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / README.md)	HIGH	`rules/agent-docs.md`
Components (agents, skills, rules)	MEDIUM	`rules/components.md`

Workflow

Step 1: Detect

Run git log --oneline -20 and git diff to identify recent changes
Check which agent instruction files exist (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md) and whether README.md exists (create if missing)
Scan both .claude/ and .agents/ for agents/*.md, skills/*/SKILL.md, and 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 and apply updates:

rules/agent-docs.md for CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / README.md changes
rules/components.md for .claude/ or .agents/ agents, skills, and rules changes

Step 3: Validate

Run project commands mentioned in docs to verify they work
Check that instructions match current project setup
Ensure the agent instruction file (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md), README.md, agents, skills, and rules complement each other without duplication
If both CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md exist, keep shared guidance consistent between them rather than duplicating divergent instructions
