# Documentation Check Skill
Review code changes and determine if documentation updates or new documentation
is needed.
## Workflow
1. **Get the code changes** - Use the method provided in the prompt, or if none
specified:
- For a PR: `gh pr diff <PR_NUMBER> --repo coder/coder`
- For local changes: `git diff main` or `git diff --staged`
- For a branch: `git diff main...<branch>`
2. **Understand the scope** - Consider what changed:
- Is this user-facing or internal?
- Does it change behavior, APIs, CLI flags, or configuration?
- Even for "internal" or "chore" changes, always verify the actual diff
3. **Search the docs** for related content in `docs/`
4. **Decide what's needed**:
- Do existing docs need updates to match the code?
- Is new documentation needed for undocumented features?
- Or is everything already covered?
5. **Report findings** - Use the method provided in the prompt, or if none
specified, summarize findings directly
## What to Check
- **Accuracy**: Does documentation match current code behavior?
- **Completeness**: Are new features/options documented?
- **Examples**: Do code examples still work?
- **CLI/API changes**: Are new flags, endpoints, or options documented?
- **Configuration**: Are new environment variables or settings documented?
- **Breaking changes**: Are migration steps documented if needed?
- **Premium features**: Should docs indicate `(Premium)` in the title?
## Key Documentation Info
- **`docs/manifest.json`** - Navigation structure; new pages MUST be added here
- **`docs/reference/cli/*.md`** - Auto-generated from Go code, don't edit directly
- **Premium features** - H1 title should include `(Premium)` suffix
## Coder-Specific Patterns
### Callouts
Use GitHub-Flavored Markdown alerts:
```markdown
> [!NOTE]
> Additional helpful information.
> [!WARNING]
> Important warning about potential issues.
> [!TIP]
> Helpful tip for users.
```
### CLI Documentation
CLI docs in `docs/reference/cli/` are auto-generated. Don't suggest editing them
directly. Instead, changes should be made in the Go code that defines the CLI
commands (typically in `cli/` directory).
### Code Examples
Use `sh` for shell commands:
```sh
coder server --flag-name value
```
