synchronize-documentation

synchronize-documentation is a skill for Claude Code from Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills. It costs 41 tokens per session (286 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for updating existing documentation after code, configuration, or API behavior changes. It finds the authoritative documents and changes only claims that are now stale or incomplete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementation changes to identify affected guides, update examples and links, check consistency, and report documents that were examined but did not need changes.
Why use it?
It prevents users and maintainers from following instructions that no longer match the implementation, while avoiding unnecessary edits to unrelated documents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

synchronize-documentation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 28d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Synchronize Documentation

Update only documentation whose truth or required coverage changed.

  1. Establish the exact implementation delta and externally/user/maintainer-visible consequences.
  2. Discover documentation by semantic relationship to the changed contracts, names, paths, configuration, APIs, and workflows. Do not sweep every document without a reason it could be affected.
  3. For each candidate document, determine its purpose, audience, authority, and source-of-truth relationship before editing.
  4. Compare its material claims with the current implementation/contract. Skip unaffected documents explicitly.
  5. Update the narrowest authoritative location. Remove stale claims rather than preserving history inline unless the document's purpose is historical.
  6. When several documents duplicate one meaning, consolidate toward the authoritative source and keep navigation pointers where needed.
  7. Preserve examples when they are useful executable/user guidance; update or test them rather than banning code examples categorically.
  8. Re-read edited documents, validate links/references and repository-required checks, and report changed and examined-but-unchanged surfaces.

Do not modify source behavior as part of documentation synchronization. Do not assume implementation outranks a normative specification; escalate an authority conflict instead of rewriting the specification to match code.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

synchronize-documentation is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills (67 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 286 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-26.
