What it does

Updates existing specification files with new requirements while preserving document structure and version history.

Overview

This skill updates existing specification files with new requirements or code changes while preserving the document's established structure, version history, and AI-optimized formatting. It ensures specification documents remain the single source of truth as projects evolve, maintaining clarity and machine-readability for Generative AI consumption.

Key Features

Incremental Updates - Modifies existing specification files based on new requirements or code changes without overwriting unaffected sections
Structure Preservation - Maintains the original document template including front matter, scope, requirements, constraints, interfaces, and acceptance criteria sections
Version History Tracking - Updates version numbers and last_updated timestamps in front matter to maintain a clear change history
AI-Ready Formatting - Ensures updated content follows the same precise, unambiguous, machine-readable formatting standards as the original specification
Self-Contained Consistency - Validates that updates don't introduce external dependencies or undefined terms, keeping the document fully self-contained

Who is this for?

Software teams maintaining living specification documents that need regular updates as requirements evolve. Ideal for organizations using AI-augmented development workflows where specifications serve as input for AI code generation and must remain accurate, current, and machine-readable throughout the project lifecycle.
