Documentation Reviewer

Overview

Ensure documentation stays synchronized with code changes. Analyze git diffs, identify impacted documentation, and update MkDocs Material docs with proper formatting.

Workflow

1. Analyze Changes → 2. Map to Docs → 3. Identify Gaps → 4. Update Docs → 5. Verify

Step 1: Analyze Changes

Run the change analysis script or manually check:

# Using script (from project root)
python3 ~/.claude/skills/documentation-reviewer/scripts/analyze_changes.py

# Manual check
git diff --name-only HEAD~1  # or specify commit range
git diff --stat HEAD~1

Step 2: Map Changes to Documentation

Change Type Documentation Impact
New API endpoint docs/api/endpoints.md
New feature/component docs/features/ or docs/architecture/
Config changes docs/getting-started/ or docs/development/
New invoke task docs/development/invoke-tasks.md
Docker changes docs/architecture/docker.md
Model changes docs/api/endpoints.md, docs/architecture/backend.md
Frontend component docs/architecture/frontend.md

See references/change-mapping.md for complete mapping rules.

Step 3: Identify Documentation Gaps

Check for missing documentation:

  1. New exports - Public functions/classes need documentation
  2. Changed behavior - Updated logic needs updated docs
  3. New config options - Environment variables, settings
  4. Breaking changes - Migration guides required
  5. New dependencies - Installation instructions

Step 4: Update Documentation

Use MkDocs Material syntax from references/mkdocs-material-syntax.md:

  • Admonitions for warnings/tips
  • Code blocks with titles and line numbers
  • Tabbed content for multi-platform instructions
  • Tables for structured data
  • Mermaid diagrams for architecture

Step 5: Verify

# Serve docs locally
mkdocs serve

# Check for broken links and build
mkdocs build --strict
