docs(skill): point docs skill at repo-root AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md
The references previously read `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` and `docs/AGENTS.md`,
which never existed at those paths. The actual style references live at
the repo root.

name description
update-docs Update documentation in docs/public/ based on recent code changes. Reads git history since a watermark commit, maps changed files to doc pages, and makes surgical edits to keep docs in sync with code.

Update Docs

Detect code changes since the last run and update affected documentation pages.

  • references/mapping.md — code-to-doc page mapping
  • Follow CONTRIBUTING.md and AGENTS.md (repo root) for writing style

Workflow

1. Read watermark

Read .claude/skills/docs/watermark for the last processed commit SHA. If the file is missing (first run), use the commit from 30 days ago as the starting point: git log --before="30 days ago" --format=%H -1 main.

2. Gather changes

Run git log --oneline --no-merges --name-only <watermark>..HEAD to get changed files and commit messages since the watermark.

3. Map changes to doc pages

Cross-reference changed files against the code-to-doc mapping in references/mapping.md. Also use judgment for unmapped files (e.g., new crates or modules that clearly affect user-facing behavior).

Filter to user-facing behavioral changes only:

  • New features, flags, commands, config options, node types
  • Changed behavior, renamed APIs, new integrations
  • Bug fixes that affect documented behavior

Skip:

  • Internal refactors with no behavior change
  • Test-only changes
  • CI/CD pipeline changes
  • Dependency bumps
  • Code style or linting changes

If nothing affects docs, tell the user and stop.

4. Read code and docs

For each affected doc page: read the current MDX file and the relevant source files. Identify sections that are outdated, missing, or incorrect.

5. Update doc pages

Surgical edits only — change only affected sections. Preserve existing voice, structure, heading hierarchy, and Mintlify component usage.

  • Add code examples for new features (CLI commands, config snippets, DOT syntax)
  • Insert rows into reference tables in logical position
  • Add new sections for entirely new capabilities
  • Update existing descriptions when behavior changes
  • Never edit docs/public/api-reference/fabro-api.yaml — that is the API workflow's source of truth

6. Validate DOT examples

If any updated page contains ```dot code blocks with digraph definitions, run ./test/docs/run_tests.sh validate. Fix any failures before proceeding.

7. Write watermark

Write the output of git rev-parse HEAD to .claude/skills/docs/watermark.

8. Summarize

List updated doc pages and what changed in each.
