1 组Updating object-oriented component documentation is cumbersome, and manual synchronization is prone to errors, leading to discrepancies between documentation and code, which affects developers' access to the latest information.
This skill provides tools and guidelines for OO component documentation updates, enabling efficient synchronization and maintenance, ensuring real-time accuracy of documentation, and improving development efficiency.

Update Standard OO Component Documentation
Update the existing documentation file at: ${file} by analyzing the corresponding component code.
Extract the component path from the existing documentation's front matter (component_path field) or infer it from the documentation content. Analyze the current component implementation and update the documentation accordingly.
Documentation Standards:
-
DOC-001: Follow C4 Model documentation levels (Context, Containers, Components, Code)
-
DOC-002: Align with Arc42 software architecture documentation template
-
DOC-003: Comply with IEEE 1016 Software Design Description standard
-
DOC-004: Use Agile Documentation principles (just enough documentation that adds value)
-
DOC-005: Target developers and maintainers as primary audience
Analysis Instructions:
-
ANA-001: Read existing documentation to understand component context and structure
-
ANA-002: Identify component path from front matter or content analysis
-
ANA-003: Examine current source code files for class structures and inheritance
-
ANA-004: Compare existing documentation with current implementation
-
ANA-005: Identify design patterns and architectural changes
-
ANA-006: Update public APIs, interfaces, and dependencies
-
ANA-007: Recognize new/changed creational/structural/behavioral patterns
-
ANA-008: Update method parameters, return values, exceptions
-
ANA-009: Reassess performance, security, reliability, maintainability
-
ANA-010: Update integration patterns and data flow
Language-Specific Optimizations:
-
LNG-001: C#/.NET - async/await, dependency injection, configuration, disposal
-
LNG-002: Java - Spring framework, annotations, exception handling, packaging
-
LNG-003: TypeScript/JavaScript - modules, async patterns, types, npm
-
LNG-004: Python - packages, virtual environments, type hints, testing
Update Strategy:
-
UPD-001: Preserve existing documentation structure and format
-
UPD-002: Update
last_updatedfield to current date -
UPD-003: Maintain version history in front matter if present
-
UPD-004: Add new sections if component has significantly expanded
-
UPD-005: Mark deprecated features or breaking changes
-
UPD-006: Update examples to reflect current API
-
UPD-007: Refresh dependency lists and versions
-
UPD-008: Update mermaid diagrams to reflect current architecture
Error Handling:
-
ERR-001: Documentation file doesn't exist - provide guidance on file location
-
ERR-002: Component path not found in documentation - request clarification
-
ERR-003: Source code has moved - suggest updated paths
-
ERR-004: Major architectural changes - highlight breaking changes
-
ERR-005: Insufficient access to source - document limitations
Output Format:
Update the existing Markdown file maintaining its structure while refreshing content to match current implementation. Preserve formatting, heading hierarchy, and existing organizational decisions.
Required Documentation Structure:
Update the existing documentation following the same template structure, ensuring all sections reflect current implementation:
---
title: [Component Name] - Technical Documentation
component_path: [Current component path]
version: [Updated version if applicable]
date_created: [Original creation date - preserve]
last_updated: [YYYY-MM-DD - update to current date]
owner: [Preserve existing or update if changed]
tags: [Update tags as needed based on current functionality]
---

- **Internal dependencies** - How components currently interact within the system
- **External dependencies** - Current external libraries, services, databases, APIs
- **Data flow** - Current direction of dependencies and interactions
- **Inheritance/composition** - Current class hierarchies and composition relationships
