DOC SYNCER

GOAL

Keep documentation in sync with code. Detect drift, report it, patch what can be patched automatically. Auto-discover what doc the project has and what it actually needs based on stack and deploy complexity. Never invent content -- only reflect what changed in code.

REQUEST

$ARGUMENTS

MODE DETECTION

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

AUTO MODE — $ARGUMENTS starts with auto-mode scope: Jump to AUTO MODE section.
FULL AUDIT — anything else (empty, file list, description) Run the full audit workflow.

FULL AUDIT

STEP 1 — DISCOVER PROJECT DOC LAYOUT

Auto-detect what doc files actually exist. No fixed list.

# Standard root doc files (only those that exist)
for f in README.md CLAUDE.md INSTALL.md CONFIGURE.md USAGE.md \
         DEPLOY.md CONTRIBUTING.md CHANGELOG.md SECURITY.md \
         CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md ARCHITECTURE.md ROADMAP.md LICENSE; do
  [ -f "$f" ] && echo "$f"
done

# docs/ tree
find docs -name '*.md' 2>/dev/null

# .claude/ project-state docs
find .claude/tasks .claude/audits .claude/memory \
  -name '*.md' 2>/dev/null

Store as DOC_FILES (existing) and DOC_MISSING (canonical names absent — at minimum: README.md).

STEP 2 — STACK & DEPLOY ANALYSIS

Detect project stack and deploy complexity. Drives later decisions about which docs are needed.

Stack signals (read manifest, identify framework):

Signal file	Stack
`package.json` — read `dependencies`	Node/JS — React, Next.js, Astro, Vue, Svelte, Express, NestJS, etc.
`requirements.txt` / `pyproject.toml` / `Pipfile`	Python — Django, FastAPI, Flask, Streamlit
`Cargo.toml`	Rust — Axum, Actix, Tauri
`go.mod`	Go
`Gemfile`	Ruby/Rails
`composer.json`	PHP — Symfony, Laravel
`pubspec.yaml`	Dart/Flutter
`.csproj` / `.sln`	.NET

Deploy signals — classify trivial vs non-trivial:

Signal	Complexity
`Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, `compose.yaml`	NON_TRIVIAL
`fly.toml`, `render.yaml`, `railway.toml`, `vercel.json`, `netlify.toml`	NON_TRIVIAL
`.github/workflows/deploy*.yml`, `.gitlab-ci.yml` w/ deploy stage	NON_TRIVIAL
`kubernetes/`, `helm/`, `k8s/`, manifests w/ `kind: Deployment`	NON_TRIVIAL
`terraform/`, `pulumi/`, `serverless.yml`, SAM `template.yaml`	NON_TRIVIAL
`Makefile` w/ multi-step deploy target	NON_TRIVIAL
Multiple env-specific configs (`.env.production`, `.env.staging`)	NON_TRIVIAL
FTP / SFTP push script, single `scp`, plain static upload	TRIVIAL
Astro/Next static export pushed to GitHub Pages w/ default action	TRIVIAL
No deploy artifact (lib, internal tool, CLI binary release only)	NONE

Store as STACK and DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY (NONE / TRIVIAL / NON_TRIVIAL). Record evidence (which file triggered classification) for the report.

STEP 3 — DETECT DRIFT PER DOC

For each file in DOC_FILES:

Get last modification date:
```
git log -1 --format=%aI -- <file>
```

Get commits touching the codebase since that date. Adapt globs to detected STACK:

git log --oneline --since="<date>" \
 --diff-filter=AMRD -- <stack-specific source globs> \
 'Dockerfile' 'docker-compose.yml' 'Makefile' \
 '*.toml' '*.json' '*.yaml' '*.yml' '*.env.example'

For each commit, extract changes:
```
git show --stat --name-only <hash>
git diff <hash>~1..<hash> --unified=3
```
Look for: new/renamed/deleted functions, new config keys, new CLI flags, changed endpoints, breaking changes, dep adds/removes/upgrades, new features, removed features.
Cross-reference each change against doc content.
Feature delta detection:
- New entry points / routes / commands / skills / modules in code, no doc section → [ADDED].
- Doc references functions / files / endpoints / features absent from code → [REMOVED].
- Use git diff --stat between last doc edit and HEAD to identify added (A) / deleted (D) files.

STEP 4 — ANALYSIS PER DOC TYPE

Apply doc-specific checks. Skip docs not in DOC_FILES (handled by STEP 5/6 if creation needed).

README.md — must exist; see STEP 5 if absent

Title + one-line description present?
Quick-start commands match package manifest?
Feature list covers current functionality?
- Added: new skills/commands/endpoints/modules in code, missing from feature list → AUTO if name obvious, HUMAN if wording needs judgment.
- Removed: entries referencing code/files/endpoints absent → AUTO for removal, HUMAN if deprecated.
Examples match current API/signatures?
Prerequisites: versions/tools accurate?
Cross-links present and pointing to existing files (INSTALL.md, CONFIGURE.md, USAGE.md, DEPLOY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CHANGELOG.md)? Dead link → AUTO removal. Missing link to existing doc → AUTO addition.

CLAUDE.md

Norms match current project patterns?
Stack description matches detected STACK?
Build/test/lint commands runnable?
Folder tree matches actual structure?
Decisions in .claude/memory/decisions.md reflected when architectural (framework choice, security stance, API versioning)?

INSTALL.md

Env vars referenced exist in .env.example?
Install steps match current dep manager + versions?
OS/runtime prerequisites accurate?

CONFIGURE.md

Config-file format matches current code?
Each documented option still present in code?
New options added to code reflected here?

USAGE.md

CLI flags / commands match current implementation?
API endpoints match current routes (versioned per /api/v1/... rule)?
Code examples match current signatures?

DEPLOY.md

Steps match detected deploy artifacts (Dockerfile, fly.toml, workflows, etc.)?
Production env vars listed and match .env.example?
Rollback procedure present (non-trivial deploy)?
If DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == TRIVIAL → file is overkill, propose inlining content into README "Deploy" section. HUMAN.

CONTRIBUTING.md

Branch workflow accurate?
Test commands correct?
Code style rules still enforced (lint config, formatter)?

CHANGELOG.md

Latest code changes have entries? Always HUMAN.
Entry format consistent with existing style?

docs//*.md**

Technical accuracy: code references match reality?
Internal links point to existing files/sections?

.claude/tasks/TODO.md

Tasks still relevant given current code state?
Completed subtasks ticked?
Tasks for code that no longer exists → flag for cleanup. HUMAN.

.claude/audits/*.md

Audit reports (SEO, harden, validate, BUGS-FOUND, etc.) reference paths/files that still exist?
Findings still applicable, or already resolved by later commits? Flag resolved findings → HUMAN (user decides whether to archive).

.claude/memory/decisions.md / learnings.md / blockers.md

Decisions referencing files/modules → those still exist?
Resolved blockers marked resolved?
Decisions contradicting current code → surface for user reconciliation. HUMAN.

.claude/memory/journal.md / evals.md

Append-only logs — never edit. Skip drift checks.

Inline comments (JSDoc, docstrings, rustdoc, godoc)

Only check files changed since last doc update.
@param / @return types match actual function signatures?
Description still accurate after the change?

STEP 5 — README BOOTSTRAP CHECK

If README.md ∉ DOC_FILES:

README is MANDATORY. Always create it — never gate on user approval. A repo without a README is an immediate "this looks abandoned" signal to anyone landing on it. If the previous maintainer opted out (e.g. CLAUDE.md carries an "Exceptions: No README at scaffold" line), override that opt-out and strike through the exception in CLAUDE.md during patching.

Render the template below using real project data only:

<project-name> ← manifest name (humanise: nuit-folle → Nuit Folle)
one-line description ← manifest description, else first paragraph of CLAUDE.md project overview, else "Mobile-first / web / CLI / … project. Replace this line with a concrete pitch." (clearly flagged as a placeholder so the user replaces it)
feature bullets ← top-level entry points / routes / skills / CLI commands discovered in the codebase (names + 1-line description each)
stack list ← STACK detected in STEP 2 with versions from manifest
install + run commands ← exact npm scripts / pyproject.toml / Cargo.toml / Makefile targets (no invented commands)
documentation cross-links ← only existing or freshly-proposed files
license ← LICENSE file SPDX header if present, manifest license field if present, else "Not specified — set one before public release" (explicit gap, not a placeholder)

The template includes a "Quick start (dev)" section that is the sole user-facing entry-point for local development. Production deploy guidance lives in DEPLOY.md; the README only links to it.

# <Project Name>

<one-line description from manifest or CLAUDE.md project overview>

---

## Features

- **<feature>** — <one-line>
- **<feature>** — <one-line>
(infer from entry points, routes, commands, top-level modules)

## Stack

- <Language> <version> (manifest)
- <Framework> <version>
- <Notable libs>
- <Build tool / test runner / linter>

## Quick start (dev)

Single-process, no Docker — fastest path to a running app:

\`\`\`bash
<install command from manifest>
<run command(s) from manifest>
\`\`\`

<If a docker-compose dev override exists:>
Docker-compose dev — matches the production topology with hot reload:

\`\`\`bash
<dev compose command>
\`\`\`

<1-2 lines about local→backend wiring, defaults, common gotchas>

For **production deployment** — provisioning, firewall, TLS, backups,
hardening — see [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md).

## Verifying a change

\`\`\`bash
<typecheck command>     # only list those that actually exist in the manifest
<lint command>
<test command>
\`\`\`

<one-line baseline expectation, e.g. "X tests pass today">

## Build & deploy

<For each top-level build/deploy script in the manifest, one line.>
<If DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == NON_TRIVIAL: link to DEPLOY.md.>

## Documentation

- [<root doc>](<root doc>)            (only if exists or proposed)
- [CLAUDE.md](CLAUDE.md)               (only if exists)
- [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md)               (only if DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == NON_TRIVIAL)
- [Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md)      (only if exists)
- [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md)            (only if exists)

## Project layout (top-level)

\`\`\`
<top-level directory tree, 1 line per dir, generated from `ls -d */`>
\`\`\`

## Status

<Pre-1.0 / Beta / Stable — pulled from manifest `version` and a 1-line
state line. Note the license situation explicitly if absent.>

Tag as AUTO — create on first audit. Surface the rendered README in the validation gate before writing so the user can edit if needed, but do NOT skip creation; "skip" should not be an offered option on README bootstrap.

STEP 6 — DEPLOY.md GATE

State	Action
`DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == NONE`	Skip. Don't propose DEPLOY.md.
`DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == TRIVIAL` AND no DEPLOY.md	Skip. Suggest one-paragraph "Deploy" section in README. HUMAN.
`DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == TRIVIAL` AND DEPLOY.md exists	Suggest deletion or inlining into README. HUMAN.
`DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == NON_TRIVIAL` AND no DEPLOY.md	Propose creation using the full prod-only template below. HUMAN approval.
`DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == NON_TRIVIAL` AND DEPLOY.md exists	Apply standard drift detection (STEP 3-4). Verify the existing file covers the 14 sections below; surface missing sections as drift items.

DEPLOY.md is PROD-ONLY. Dev quick-start lives in README.md ("Quick start (dev)" section); DEPLOY.md never duplicates it. If the existing DEPLOY.md contains a "Local development" / "Dev setup" / similar section, flag it as drift and propose moving its content into README.md while removing the section from DEPLOY.md.

DEPLOY.md template — 14 sections (NON_TRIVIAL)

Mirror the conventional VPS-deploy structure (reference: a Scaleway DEV1-S walkthrough; the same shape works on any provider). Drop sections that don't apply (e.g. "Managed DB" if the app has no DB). Each section uses real project data (env vars from .env.example or .env, container names from docker-compose.yml, scripts from scripts/, ports from Dockerfile EXPOSE / compose ports).

# Deploy

<1-paragraph topology summary: containers, host TLS terminator,
public ingress, internal hops.>

---

## What gets deployed

| Service | Image source | Port (host) | Role |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |

<Add a note on which ports are publicly bound vs loopback-only.>

---

## Required environment

<Table of env vars expected on the VPS in `.env` — secrets, rate limits,
provider keys, CORS origin, web-port override, build-time frontend URL.
Pull names from the actual code (server.js, lib/api.ts, etc.).>

---

## Provision the VPS

<Specs table (CPU/RAM/disk/OS recommended minimums). DNS A record.
SSH key. Baseline apt-get / pkg packages (git, curl, ufw, fail2ban,
ca-certificates). Optional cloud-provider CLI shortcut.>

---

## Firewall (two layers)

### Layer 1 — cloud provider security group
<Allow-list table: SSH from your IP, 80, 443 from anywhere; deny rest.
Cheats per provider (Scaleway / Hetzner / OVH / DO / Vultr).>

### Layer 2 — UFW on the VM
<`ufw default deny incoming` + allow 22/80/443 + enable.>

---

## Install Docker (production-tuned)

<`curl get.docker.com | sh`. `/etc/docker/daemon.json` with
`json-file` log driver capped (max-size + max-file) and
`live-restore: true`. Enable + restart.>

---

## First-time VPS setup

<Clone, .env, `compose up --build -d`, loopback sanity curl. Assumes
the prep chapters above are done; keep this short.>

---

## Routine deploys

<`npm run deploy` / `bash scripts/deploy.sh` flow + manual VPS-side
fallback (git fetch + reset + compose up).>

---

## Data persistence

<Which volumes are mounted (named or bind), what files live there,
backup recipe pointer to next section.>

---

## Backups (cron + retention)

### One-shot script
<`/opt/backup-<project>.sh` — `docker cp` volume contents, tar+gzip,
rotation by mtime, log file.>

### Cron
<crontab line, daily 03:00–04:00, log path.>

### Off-VPS storage (optional but recommended)
<rsync + S3-compatible push.>

### Restore
<compose stop + docker cp + compose start, with verification curl.>

---

## Behind a domain + TLS reverse proxy

### Option A — host nginx + Certbot
<DNS + UFW + nginx server block + `certbot --nginx` + timer status.>

#### Security headers (Option A only)
<HSTS w/ preload, X-Content-Type-Options nosniff, X-Frame-Options DENY,
Referrer-Policy strict-origin-when-cross-origin, Permissions-Policy
locked-down, CSP minimal-but-framework-compatible. Verify via curl +
securityheaders.com / ssllabs.com.>

### Option B — Caddy (auto-TLS, single file)
<apt + Caddyfile snippet.>

### Backend CORS
<env var name + restart procedure + cross-origin curl to verify lockdown.>

### Frontend API base URL
<Only if the frontend has a build-time API URL var. Document the value
to set (empty string for same-origin or full URL for split-host) and
the seam (Dockerfile ARG + compose build-args).>

### Sanity checks
<TLS redirect curl, healthcheck curls, `nc -zv <vps-ip> <port>` to
confirm internal ports are NOT publicly bound.>

---

## Post-deploy hardening

### 1. Non-root deploy user
<adduser + usermod -aG docker + ssh key copy + sudo NOPASSWD.>

### 2. Disable root + password SSH
<`sshd_config`: PermitRootLogin prohibit-password, PasswordAuthentication no.>

### 3. (Optional) Move SSH off port 22
<port change order: open new in UFW + cloud SG BEFORE removing 22.>

### 4. Unattended security upgrades
<apt-get install unattended-upgrades + dpkg-reconfigure.>

### 5. fail2ban
<systemctl enable + status verification.>

### 6. Final lockdown check
<nmap from outside, password-SSH attempt expected rejected.>

---

## Rollback

<git reset to known-good SHA + compose up --build + restore data if
the bad deploy corrupted state.>

---

## Health checks

<URL → expected response table, hit on the public hostname behind TLS
or on `127.0.0.1:<WEB_PORT>` if no reverse proxy yet.>

---

## Troubleshooting

<9–10 common failures, each as a sub-section with a diagnosis recipe:
- container won't start
- 5xx from the API
- CORS rejected in browser
- 502 bad gateway from host nginx
- SSL renewal failed
- volume / data unexpectedly empty
- disk full
- restart loop
- container log explosion>

---

## Operational notes

<Log destinations, log volume cap reminder, manual prune commands,
key-rotation procedure, anything provider-specific.>

If DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == NON_TRIVIAL AND a DEPLOY.md already exists but is missing 3+ of these 14 sections, surface each missing section as a separate [HUMAN] drift item in STEP 7 with a 1-line description of what the section should cover for this project. Do not patch them automatically — production deploy guidance is judgement-heavy.

STEP 7 — REPORT

DOC SYNC REPORT
===============

PROJECT STACK   : <detected stack>
DEPLOY          : <NONE | TRIVIAL | NON_TRIVIAL — evidence>
DOCS PRESENT    : <count> — <list>
DOCS MISSING    : <list of canonical names not present>

2. [HUMAN] <section> — <what's wrong>
   Commit: <hash> — <message>
   Reason: <why this needs human judgment>

---
(repeat for each doc with drift)

## CREATE PROPOSALS
- [HUMAN] README.md — bootstrap (template above)
- [HUMAN] DEPLOY.md — non-trivial deploy (Docker + fly.toml)
- ...

## REMOVE / INLINE PROPOSALS
- [HUMAN] DEPLOY.md — trivial deploy, inline into README instead
- ...

Tagging rules:

AUTO — factual update Claude can write: command changed, var renamed, param added, version bumped, file moved, dead reference removed, new entry point added to a list, new link added to existing doc.
HUMAN — needs business context: feature wording, architecture rationale, changelog entry content, new section creation, deprecation notes, README/DEPLOY bootstrap content, decisions.md ↔ code reconciliation.

Feature delta tags:

[ADDED] — feature in code, not in docs. AUTO for list entry with obvious wording, HUMAN if needs new section.
[REMOVED] — feature in docs, not in code. AUTO for list entry to delete, HUMAN if needs deprecation note.

CHANGELOG entries always HUMAN. DEPLOY.md creation always HUMAN. README.md creation is AUTO — always render and write, never gate on user input. The validation gate (STEP 8) still surfaces the rendered file so the user can edit before write, but "skip" is not an option for README bootstrap; it is mandatory.

If no drift in any doc and no missing required doc: DOC SYNC: all docs current and stop.

STEP 8 — VALIDATION GATE (mandatory stop)

DOC SYNC — VALIDATION GATE
AUTO items   : <count> (Claude will patch these)
HUMAN items  : <count> (listed above for review)
CREATE items : <count>
  - README.md     (AUTO — will be written; `edit` to refine the rendered draft)
  - DEPLOY.md     (HUMAN — approve before write)
  - …
REMOVE items : <count>

Apply AUTO patches?              (yes / select items / cancel)
Apply HUMAN items?               (per-item: yes / no / edit)
Apply CREATE items?              (per-item: yes / edit / no — README has no `no`)

README.md CREATE is unconditional: the only valid responses are yes (write the rendered draft as-is) or edit (revise the draft, then write). Treat any no / skip answer to README as edit and prompt the user for the specific changes they want.

Wait for explicit approval. Do not proceed without it.

STEP 9 — PATCH

Apply only approved items:

Surgical Edit for AUTO items. Preserve structure and tone.
Write for approved CREATE items (README, DEPLOY). Use real project data only — no <TODO> placeholders, no fabricated feature descriptions.
For removals, prefer Edit (delete dead lines) over Write.
Re-read each modified file post-edit to verify no broken markdown, no orphaned references.

OUTPUT

DOC SYNC COMPLETE
DOCS CHECKED : <count>
AUTO PATCHED : <count> items across <count> files
CREATED      : <count> files
REMOVED      : <count> files
HUMAN PENDING: <count> items (see report above)
SKIPPED      : <count> (user declined)

AUTO MODE

Triggered by other skills at end of session. Input format: auto-mode scope: <file1> <file2> ...

STEP A1 — PARSE SCOPE

Extract file list from $ARGUMENTS. These are files modified during the current session.

STEP A2 — IDENTIFY RELEVANT DOCS

Map modified files to relevant docs:

Code files → README (examples, feature list), USAGE, docs/
Config files → INSTALL, CONFIGURE, README setup section
Package manifest → README (prereqs, install), INSTALL
Dockerfile/compose → README Docker section, INSTALL, DEPLOY
Deploy artifacts (fly.toml, workflows, k8s manifests, etc.) → DEPLOY (or trigger STEP 6 gate if no DEPLOY.md), README
CLAUDE.md change → skip (self-documenting)
.claude/memory/decisions.md change with architectural impact → CLAUDE.md, README

If no relevant docs exist for changed files → exit silently.

Exception — README absence: in AUTO MODE, if README.md is missing AND any code/config file was modified this session, treat it as a SIGNIFICANT item in STEP A4 and surface a "README missing — propose creation" line with the rendered draft (per STEP 5 template). Auto mode does NOT auto-write CREATE items; the rendered draft is shown so the user can approve in one step at end-of-session.

STEP A3 — QUICK DRIFT CHECK

For each relevant doc, read it and check only sections affected by scoped changes. No full git scan — compare doc content directly against current state of modified files.

Feature deltas in scoped files:

New files added → feature/module documented?
Files deleted → doc references to remove?
New exports/routes/commands → listed in relevant docs?

Categorize:

NONE — no drift detected.
MINOR — factual correction (command, param, path, version), dead reference removal, new list entry add.
SIGNIFICANT — new feature undocumented, section outdated, breaking change not reflected, feature removed without doc update, new deploy artifact (Dockerfile, fly.toml, workflow) without DEPLOY.md update or creation.

STEP A4 — ACT

NONE → exit completely silent. No output.
MINOR → patch silently. One-line confirmation: doc-sync: patched <file> (<what changed>)

SIGNIFICANT → surface to user before patching:

DOC SYNC — drift detected after this session:
<list of significant items with proposed fixes>
Apply? (yes / no / select)

Wait for approval.

RULES

Never invent content. Only sync what changed in code.
Never fabricate examples, feature descriptions, explanations.
README.md creation is AUTO and unconditional — always created when missing, using real project data only (no placeholders, no fabricated content). The validation gate surfaces the rendered file for editing but never offers a "skip" option for README bootstrap. Strike through any project-level "no README" opt-out (e.g. in CLAUDE.md "Exceptions to global rules") during the same patch.
DEPLOY.md creation requires HUMAN approval and uses real project data only. Produced only when DEPLOY_COMPLEXITY == NON_TRIVIAL, following the 14-section template in STEP 6. Trivial deploy belongs in README.
DEPLOY.md is PROD-ONLY. Dev quick-start lives in README under a "Quick start (dev)" section. If an existing DEPLOY.md mixes dev and prod, surface the dev section as drift and propose moving it to README during the same patch round.
Doc list is dynamic — auto-detect, never assume fixed set.
CHANGELOG entries: always propose, never auto-write.
Inline comment updates: only for files in scope, only when signature actually changed.
.claude/memory/journal.md and evals.md are append-only logs — never edit.
.claude/memory/decisions.md / learnings.md / blockers.md are user-curated registries — surface drift, don't auto-edit (HUMAN only).
Preserve existing structure, formatting, tone.
Patches minimal — change what's wrong, nothing else.
