Codex Compatibility

When running this skill in Codex, translate Claude Code-only primitives before acting: AskUserQuestion -> chat/request_user_input, TodoWrite -> update_plan, Task/TaskCreate/TeamCreate/SendMessage -> spawn_agent/send_input/wait_agent when available and allowed, and EnterPlanMode/ExitPlanMode -> a concise chat plan plus explicit approval. Resolve Read/Write/Edit/Bash/WebSearch/WebFetch to Codex file/shell/web tools, and map ~/.claude/... paths to ~/.agents/... or ~/.codex/... unless the task explicitly targets Claude Code.

Cursor Compatibility

When running this skill in Cursor Agent, translate Claude Code-only primitives before acting: AskUserQuestion -> AskQuestion; TodoWrite -> Cursor TodoWrite or an equivalent checklist; Task/TaskCreate/TeamCreate/SendMessage/multi-agent flows -> Cursor Task (subagents), parallel Tasks, or run_in_background when allowed (TeamCreate/SendMessage may have no exact match); EnterPlanMode/ExitPlanMode -> Plan mode (SwitchMode / CreatePlan) plus explicit user approval. Resolve Read/Write/Edit/StrReplace/Bash/web/search/MCP via Cursor Composer or Agent equivalents. MCP names written as mcp__server__tool typically map to call_mcp_tool with configured server identifiers. Map ~/.claude/... to ~/.cursor/skills/, .cursor/skills/, and .cursor/rules/ unless the task explicitly targets Claude Code.

Ceremony-free, bidirectional sync between project docs and memory systems.

• Docs side: README / AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / SPEC.md / CONTRIBUTING.md / ARCHITECTURE.md and any other discovered *.md
• Memory side: Serena MCP automatically; gstack-learnings / gbrain / Notion / Obsidian / Inkdrop / Codex / local .context/ only when the user opts in via speech ("Notion も同期して" etc.)
• NOT in scope: CHANGELOG, VERSION, PR body, release ceremony — use /document-release for those

This is a manual-only skill. Do not auto-trigger.

Step 0: Pre-flight

Get current branch and detect the repo's base branch (don't hardcode main):

CUR=$(git branch --show-current)
BASE=$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq .defaultBranchRef.name 2>/dev/null \
  || git remote show origin 2>/dev/null | awk '/HEAD branch/ {print $NF}' \
  || echo "main")
[ "$CUR" = "$BASE" ] && echo "ABORT: on base branch ($BASE) — run from a feature branch" && exit 1

Capture project slug as a memory write-back hint (gstack optional):

if [ -x ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug ]; then
  source <(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug 2>/dev/null) || true
fi
SLUG="${SLUG:-$(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null)}"

Step 1: Diff & Repo State

git diff "$BASE"...HEAD --stat
git log "$BASE"..HEAD --oneline
git diff "$BASE"...HEAD --name-only

Classify changes into: New features / Changed behavior / Removed functionality / Infrastructure.

Step 1.5: Scale Detection

Pick execution mode based on repo size and diff scope:

CHANGED_FILES=$(git diff "$BASE"...HEAD --name-only | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
DOC_FILES=$(find . -maxdepth 4 -name "*.md" -not -path "./.git/*" -not -path "./node_modules/*" | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
DIFF_LINES=$(git diff "$BASE"...HEAD --stat | tail -1 | grep -oE '[0-9]+ insertion' | grep -oE '^[0-9]+' || echo 0)
WORKSPACES=$(find . -maxdepth 3 \( -name "package.json" -o -name "Cargo.toml" -o -name "pyproject.toml" \) -not -path "./node_modules/*" | wc -l | tr -d ' ')

| Tier | Condition | Strategy | |------|-----------|----------| | Small | DOC_FILES < 10 AND CHANGED_FILES < 30 | Inline (single agent) | | Medium | DOC_FILES 10–40 OR CHANGED_FILES 30–100 | Parallel Read (multiple in one message) | | Large | DOC_FILES > 40 OR WORKSPACES > 3 OR DIFF_LINES > 5000 | Spawn up to 3 Explore subagents in parallel, one per workspace |

Large-mode subagent prompt template (each agent owns one workspace, returns ≤500 words):

"audit <workspace>/ README/CLAUDE.md/SPEC.md against the diff. Report stale facts and narrative drift as Recommendation: <action> because <reason>. Do not Edit/Write — report only."

Step 2: Doc Discovery

Always audit (well-known): README.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, SPEC.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, TODOS.md (if present).

Discover any other markdown:

find . -maxdepth 3 -name "*.md" \
  -not -path "./.git/*" -not -path "./node_modules/*" \
  -not -path "./.gstack/*" -not -path "./.context/*" \
  -not -path "./dist/*" -not -path "./build/*" | sort

Add discovered files to the audit list (deduped against well-known).

Step 3: Memory Sources — Serena auto + opt-in

Always (cost-free, already loaded by /load):

1. mcp__serena__list_memories() — list keys
2. Filter to keys matching $SLUG or repo name
3. mcp__serena__read_memory() only on relevant keys (don't read all)

If Serena MCP is unavailable, silently skip.

Opt-in only when the user's invocation explicitly mentions a source. Speech keyword → source mapping:

| Phrase | Source | |--------|--------| | "Notion も" / "Notion に" | Notion MCP | | "Obsidian も" / "vault に" | Obsidian MCP | | "Inkdrop も" | Inkdrop MCP | | "gbrain も" / "brain にも" | gbrain CLI | | "learnings に" / "gstack-learnings に" | gstack-learnings CLI | | "Codex memory も" | Codex (~/.codex/) | | "ローカル .context/ に" | project-local dir |

For full read/write APIs and probes, see references/memory-sources.md.

Never write to Claude auto-memory (~/.claude/projects/.../memory/) — that's global user memory, out of scope.

Step 4: Per-File Audit

Apply the heuristics in references/doc-audit-heuristics.md to each doc. In Large mode, aggregate the Step 1.5 subagent outputs instead of re-reading files.

Cross-check against any memory sources discovered in Step 3: flag docs whose narrative contradicts a recent learning or Serena snapshot.

Classify each candidate change:

• Auto-update: factual corrections — paths, counts, table rows, file trees
• Ask user: narrative changes, section deletes, ≥10-line rewrites, security-model edits, ambiguous relevance

For the stale-detection logic (which doc is affected by which diff path), see references/change-detection.md.

Step 5: Apply Auto-Updates

Use Edit tool. Emit one summary line per file (e.g. README.md: skill count 134 → 135).

Never auto-update: README intro / project positioning, ARCHITECTURE.md philosophy / design rationale, security-model wording, full section deletions.

Step 6: AskUserQuestion for Risky Changes

For each ask-user candidate, ask one question with:

• Context: project name, branch, doc file, what we're reviewing
• Specific decision to make
• RECOMMENDATION: Choose [X] because [reason]
• Options must include C) Skip — leave as-is

Apply approved edits via Edit.

Step 7: Memory Write-Back

For every observed truth from Step 4 that has reuse value, write it back to the sources active in Step 3 (Serena always; others only if opted in).

| Observation type | Preferred destination | |------------------|----------------------| | Project-state snapshot (branch, scope, conventions) | Serena memory (always) | | Pattern / pitfall / architecture decision | gstack-learnings (opt-in) + Serena (always) | | Long-form page-scale knowledge | gbrain / Notion / Obsidian (opt-in) | | Trivial current state | Skip (avoid memory bloat) |

Gate every write with AskUserQuestion (memory noise is permanent):

RECOMMENDATION: Append to Serena as "project-state-2026-05-02" because <reason>
A) Yes, write
B) Modify before write
C) Skip this entry
D) Skip & don't ask again this session

If neither Serena nor any opt-in source is available, skip the whole step and note "memory write-back: no destinations — docs sync only" in the output.

Step 8: Out-of-Scope (do not touch)

• CHANGELOG.md (any change)
• VERSION file
• PR body / release notes
• Any release ceremony

If the diff suggests these need updates, end the run with: "Run /document-release for CHANGELOG/VERSION."

Step 9: Output Summary

## syncing-docs-and-memory complete

**Mode**: Small | Medium | Large (N Explore agents)
**Memory sources active**: Serena (auto) [+ <opt-in sources>]

**Docs updated**:
- <file>: <one-line summary>
- (skipped: <file> — reason)

**Memory write-back**:
- Serena: N entries
- <opt-in source>: N entries
- (or: no destinations — skipped)

**Untouched** (use /document-release if needed): CHANGELOG, VERSION
**Out of scope**: Claude auto-memory (global)
