tomevault-io Update Documentation
Purpose of this skill
The purpose of this skill is to generate a meaningful and useful set of documentation that explains how an implementation works.
It is not to replicate API documentation (which drives the developer experience through XML comments), but rather to complement it with context and explanatory information, such that a developer with limited domain knowledge would be able to work on this project.
Compared to the feature-doc-elaborate skill, which is focused on the plan for an implementation, this skill is focused on documenting an implementation that either already exists or is currently in development.
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user wants the agent to update documentation based on an implementation, or to update documentation while performing an implementation.
