docs-updaterProvides automated documentation updates by analyzing git changes between the current branch and the last release tag.
Docs Updater is an agent skill from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. Provides automated documentation updates by analyzing git changes between the current branch and the last release tag. Performs git diff analysis to identify modifications, then updates README.md, CHANGELOG.md following Keep a Changelog standard, and discovers documentation folders for contextual updates. Use when preparing a release, maintaining documentation sync, or before creating a pull request. Triggers on "update docs", "update changelog", "sync documentation", "update readme", "prepare release…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes, Technical documentation and Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Modular plugin marketplace for Claude Code and agentic CLIs, with validated, spec-driven skills, agents, commands, and workflows for Java, TypeScript, Python, PHP, AWS, and AI. The licence is MIT.
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fe73fb3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadEditBashFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
keepachangelog.comsemver.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Docs Updater loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 800 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Read, Edit, BashAutomated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use git history to identify release-relevant changes, then update README.md, CHANGELOG.md, and any relevant documentation folders. Keep the workflow focused on explicit user approval, precise edits, and repository-specific documentation structure.
Use this skill when:
Unreleased changelog updateREADME.md or documentation after feature work landsBefore starting, verify that the following conditions are met:
# Verify we're in a git repository
git rev-parse --git-dir
# Check that git tags exist
git tag --list | head -5
# Verify documentation files exist
test -f README.md || echo "README.md not found"
test -f CHANGELOG.md || echo "CHANGELOG.md not found"If no tags exist, inform the user that this skill requires at least one release tag to compare against.
Goal: Identify the latest released version to compare against.
Actions:

Provides automated documentation updates by analyzing git changes between the current branch and the last release tag. Docs Updater is an agent skill from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. Provides automated documentation updates by analyzing git changes between the current branch and the last release tag.
Docs Updater fits situations like: preparing a release; maintaining documentation sync; before creating a pull request; update changelog.
Run `npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill docs-updater -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/developer-kit-core/skills/docs-updater in giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit) into .claude/skills/docs-updater in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill docs-updater -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/developer-kit-core/skills/docs-updater in giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit) into .agents/skills/docs-updater in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill docs-updater -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/docs-updater, .gemini/skills/docs-updater, .github/skills/docs-updater and .opencode/skills/docs-updater in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Docs Updater needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Edit, Bash.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: keepachangelog.com and semver.org; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Docs Updater is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Docs Updater: Git Workflow and Versioning (addyosmani/agent-skills, 105k stars), pybind11 Release Preparation (pybind/pybind11, 18k stars), AionUi Version Bump (iOfficeAI/AionUi, 33k stars) and ZCF Release Automation (UfoMiao/zcf, 6.1k stars).
