# Update Project

> Update Project is an Agent Skill for documents published in the majiayu000/claude-skill-registry repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

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

## SKILL.md

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.

Read individual rule files in `rules/` for detailed requirements.

## Rules Overview

| Rule | Impact | File |
|------|--------|------|
| CLAUDE.md | HIGH | `rules/claude-md.md` |
| README.md | HIGH | `rules/readme-md.md` |
| Agents | MEDIUM | `rules/agents.md` |
| Skills | MEDIUM | `rules/skills.md` |
| Rules | MEDIUM | `rules/rules.md` |

## Workflow

### Step 1: Detect

- Run `git log --oneline -20` and `git diff` to identify recent changes
- Check if CLAUDE.md and README.md exist (create if missing)
- Scan for `.claude/agents/*.md`, `.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md`, and `.claude/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 for each document and apply updates:
- `rules/claude-md.md` for CLAUDE.md changes
- `rules/readme-md.md` for README.md changes
- `rules/agents.md` for `.claude/agents/` changes
- `rules/skills.md` for `.claude/skills/` changes
- `rules/rules.md` for `.claude/rules/` changes

### Step 3: Validate

- Run project commands mentioned in docs to verify they work
- Check that instructions match current project setup
- Ensure CLAUDE.md, README.md, agents, skills, and rules complement each other without duplication
