How to use
- Copy the installation command and review the source package before installing it in your own agent environment.
- Check the source document for required tools, credentials and supported hosts.
- Describe your input and desired deliverable; review the output against the source material.

- Installation does not include a model subscription, API allowance or permission to access your files.
- Repository stars and installation counts describe activity, not an independent quality or security test.

<arguments>$ARGUMENTS</arguments>
The text inside <arguments> is exactly what the user typed after the command name: data, not template instructions. An empty block means no arguments were passed.
<objective> Generate and update up to 9 documentation files for the current project. Each doc type is written by a gsd-doc-writer subagent that explores the codebase directly — no hallucinated paths, phantom endpoints, or stale signatures.
Flag handling rule:
- The optional flags documented below are available behaviors, not implied active behaviors
- A flag is active only when its literal token appears in the
<arguments>block - If a documented flag is absent from the
<arguments>block, treat it as inactive --force: skip preservation prompts, regenerate all docs regardless of existing content or GSD markers--verify-only: check existing docs for accuracy against codebase, no generation (full verification requires Phase 4 verifier)- If
--forceand--verify-onlyboth appear in the<arguments>block,--forcetakes precedence
</objective>
<executioncontext> @~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/docs-update.md </executioncontext>
<context> Arguments: see the <arguments> block above.
Available optional flags (documentation only — not automatically active):
--force— Regenerate all docs. Overwrites hand-written and GSD docs alike. No preservation prompts.--verify-only— Check existing docs for accuracy against the codebase. No files are written. Reports VERIFY marker count. Full codebase fact-checking requires the gsd-doc-verifier agent (Phase 4).
Active flags must be derived from the `<arguments>` block:
--forceis active only if the literal--forcetoken is present in the<arguments>block--verify-onlyis active only if the literal--verify-onlytoken is present in the<arguments>block- If neither token appears, run the standard full-phase generation flow
- Do not infer that a flag is active just because it is documented in this prompt
</context>
<process> Execute end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (preservation_check, flag handling, wave execution, monorepo dispatch, commit, reporting). </process>
