docs-update

docs-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LuuOW/meridian-mcp. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,886 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for getting oriented in an unfamiliar codebase by reading its Markdown documentation first. Markdown is a plain-text format commonly used for project docs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when joining or returning to a project, choosing which docs to read, asking focused follow-up questions, and keeping documentation aligned with code.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent reading code without context and helps reveal the project structure, constraints, pending work, and recent changes.

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

docs-update 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

docs-update

How to get productive in an unfamiliar (or returning) codebase as fast as possible by reading structured documentation before touching any code. Also covers keeping docs current so the next session costs fewer tokens.

1) The MD-First Orientation Protocol

When entering a repo cold, read docs in this order — stop as soon as you have enough context for the task:

1. README.md          ← what the project is, how to run it
2. ARCHITECTURE.md    ← system topology, agent/service boundaries
3. PENDING.md         ← what's disabled, what's blocked, what's planned
4. CLAUDE.md          ← AI-specific instructions and constraints
5. docs/*.md          ← deep dives on specific subsystems
6. CHANGELOG.md       ← what changed recently (last 5 entries)
7. <subdir>/README.md ← module-level context (check if it exists)

Read code only when docs leave a specific question unanswered.

# Find all .md files in the repo (sorted by size — larger = more useful)
find /opt/myrepo -name "*.md" -not -path "*node_modules*" -not -path "*.git*" \
  | xargs wc -l 2>/dev/null | sort -rn | head -20

2) What Each Doc Type Reveals

File What to extract
README.md Stack, quick-start commands, port numbers, env setup
ARCHITECTURE.md Service names, data flows, which agent does what
PENDING.md Disabled features (don't fix what's intentionally off), blockers, credentials needed
CLAUDE.md Constraints the AI must follow, naming conventions, off-limits areas
CHANGELOG.md Recent breakage, recently added features, migration notes
.env.example Every external dependency (API keys = external services used)
Makefile Runnable commands the team actually uses day-to-day
docker-compose.yml Services, ports, volumes — the runtime topology
package.json / pyproject.toml Exact dependencies and versions
pytest.ini / vitest.config.ts How tests are structured and run

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.
