README Updater

Analyze codebase changes and intelligently update README documentation to reflect current implementation.

When to Use

• After implementing new features or modules
• When APIs or interfaces have changed
• Before releases to ensure docs match code
• When documentation has drifted from implementation
• User says "update readme", "sync docs", "readme is stale"

Instructions

Step 1: Determine Change Scope

Identify what has changed since README was last accurate:

Copy# Find when README was last modified
git log -1 --format="%h %s" -- README.md

# Get commits since README update
git log $(git log -1 --format="%h" -- README.md)..HEAD --oneline --no-merges

# See what files changed
git diff --name-only $(git log -1 --format="%h" -- README.md)..HEAD

Step 2: Spawn Analysis Sub-Agents

Deploy parallel sub-agents to analyze different aspects:

Prompt each sub-agent with:

"Analyze [scope] and report findings relevant to README accuracy. Focus on public-facing APIs, usage patterns, and installation/setup procedures."

Step 3: Synthesize Findings

Aggregate sub-agent reports into:

1. Outdated sections - Content that no longer matches implementation
2. Missing documentation - New features/APIs not documented
3. Reorganization needs - Structural improvements for clarity
4. Broken examples - Code samples that need updating

Step 4: Apply Updates

1. Update sections in logical order (top-to-bottom)
2. Preserve existing accurate content
3. Add new sections where needed
4. Remove deprecated information
5. Validate code examples compile

Output Format

Copy# README Update Report

## Analysis Summary
[One paragraph overview of changes needed]

## Sections Updated
| Section | Change Type | Description |
|---------|-------------|-------------|
| Installation | Updated | New dependency added |
| API Reference | Added | New `createClient()` function |
| Examples | Fixed | Updated import paths |

## Sections Reorganized
[Describe any structural changes and rationale]

## Code Examples Validated
- [x] Quick start example
- [x] API usage example
- [ ] Advanced configuration (needs fix)

## Changes Applied
[Summary of edits made to README.md]

Organization Guidelines

When reorganizing README content:

• Order by user journey: Installation → Quick Start → API → Configuration → Examples → Contributing
• Keep related items together: Don't scatter API docs across sections
• Progressive disclosure: Simple usage first, advanced options later
• Code examples near relevant docs: Don't separate explanation from demonstration

Example

Input: User says "update the readme, I just added the Groq provider"

Action:

1. Scan for Groq-related files and exports
2. Check README for provider documentation
3. Add Groq to supported providers list
4. Add Groq-specific configuration if unique
5. Update any provider count references

Output: Updated README with Groq documentation + report of changes made

Notes

• Always preserve user's existing README style and voice
• Don't add sections that aren't warranted by actual code
• Verify examples actually work before including them
• Cross-reference with existing documentation patterns in codebase
