Update Project Documentation

Update documentation only if there are meaningful changes.

Scope

1. CLAUDE.md (project root)
2. All files in memory-bank/ except brainstorm.md

Process

Step 1: Analyze Current State

Read the current content of target files.

Step 2: Identify Potential Updates

Review recent work to identify:

• New patterns or conventions established
• New integrations or APIs added
• New components or features implemented
• Bug fixes that revealed important constraints
• Updated validation rules or business logic
• New environment variables required
• Changes to project structure

Step 3: Evaluate Relevance

For CLAUDE.md:

• Does this help future sessions understand the codebase?
• Is this a reusable pattern or one-off implementation?
• Would missing this information cause bugs or confusion?

DO NOT update if:

• The information is trivial or obvious
• It duplicates existing content
• It's too specific to one implementation detail
• The existing documentation already covers it

Step 4: Apply Updates

If relevant updates exist:

1. Make minimal, focused edits
2. Maintain existing formatting and style
3. Keep CLAUDE.md concise and scannable

Output Format

Rules
