# Update Docs

## Trigger

- Keywords: update docs, sync docs, docs out of date, update-docs

## When NOT to Use

- Document review (use `/codex-review-doc`)
- Creating new docs (use `/tech-spec` or `/create-request`)
- Document refactoring (use `/doc-refactor`)

## Auto-Trigger

Auto-triggered after precommit Pass, only when the change maps to a feature under `docs/features/` (see `@rules/auto-loop.md` Doc Sync Note). Can also be invoked manually.

## Task

### Step 1: Locate Docs and Related Code (5-Level Cascade)

**Key principle: can't find target → `## Gate: ⚠️ Need Human` — don't guess or create new docs.**

Use the shared feature context resolution algorithm (see `@skills/tech-spec/references/feature-context-resolution.md`):

| Confidence | Action |
|------------|--------|
| high/medium | Proceed with detected feature |
| low | Proceed with warning |
| null (not found) | Output `## Gate: ⚠️ Need Human` — do not guess |

### Step 2: Research Current Code State

Key research items:
- Any new scripts / skills / commands added?
- Any modified logic in existing files?
- Any new configuration or rules added?
- Any API or interface changes?

### Step 3: Compare Docs vs Code Differences

| Item | Doc Description | Current Code | Status |
|------|----------------|-------------|--------|

### Step 4: Update Docs

Update document content based on differences:
1. Architecture diagrams (Mermaid sequenceDiagram / flowchart)
2. Core service table
3. API description
4. Data model

### Step 5: Verification

After update:
1. Re-read updated document sections
2. Verify all new modules are documented
3. Verify all removed modules are cleaned up

## Safety Valve

After doc sync, compare code diff against pre-sync baseline. If new code changes exist (e.g., lint:fix modified code), return to review loop.

## Output

```markdown
## Doc Update Report

| Document | Sections Updated | Status |
|----------|-----------------|--------|

## Changes Made
- <summary of each update>

## Verification
- [ ] New modules documented
- [ ] Removed modules cleaned
- [ ] Diagrams updated
```
