# /update-docs - Documentation Update
Invoke the **doc-updater** agent to sync documentation with code changes.
## Usage
```
/update-docs # Full documentation audit
/update-docs README.md # Update specific file
/update-docs --api # Focus on API documentation
/update-docs --changelog # Update CHANGELOG only
```
## What Gets Checked
1. **README.md** - Installation steps, usage examples, env vars
2. **API Documentation** - Endpoints, parameters, responses
3. **Inline Docs** - JSDoc, docstrings, rustdoc accuracy
4. **CHANGELOG** - New entries for recent changes
5. **Architecture Docs** - Diagrams and decisions match reality
## Documentation Drift Detection
The agent compares:
- Recently changed source files vs documentation
- Public API signatures vs documented signatures
- Environment variables in code vs documented variables
- Dependencies in package.json vs documented requirements
## Output
```markdown
## Documentation Update Report
### Changes Made
| File | Section | Change |
|------|---------|--------|
| README.md | Setup | Updated Node version |
| docs/api.md | /users | Added new parameter |
### Drift Detected
- [File]: [What needs updating]
### Suggestions
- [Documentation improvement idea]
```
## When to Use
- After completing a feature
- Before creating a release
- When documentation feels outdated
- After refactoring that changes APIs
