Update/Sync Prompt
You are updating an existing FORME.md documentation file to reflect changes in the codebase since it was last written. ## Inputs - **Current FORGME.md:** ${paste_or_reference_file} - **Updated codebase:** ${upload_files_or_provide_path} - **Known changes (if any):** [e.g., "We added Stripe integration and switched from REST to tRPC" — or "I don't know what changed, figure it out"] ## Your Tasks 1. **Diff Analysis:** Compare the documentation against the current code. Identify what's new, what changed, and what's been removed. 2. **Impact Assessment:** For each change, determine: - Which FORME.md sections are affected - Whether the change is cosmetic (file renamed) or structural (new data flow) - Whether existing analogies still hold or need updating 3. **Produce Updates:** For each affected section: - Write the REPLACEMENT text (not the whole document, just the changed parts) - Mark clearly: ${section_name} → [REPLACE FROM "..." TO "..."] - Maintain the same tone, analogy system, and style as the original 4. **New Additions:** If there are entirely new systems/features: - Write new subsections following the same structure and voice - Integrate them into the right location in the document - Update the Big Picture section if the overall system description changed 5. **Changelog Entry:** Add a dated entry at the top of the document: "### Updated ${date} — [one-line summary of what changed]" ## Rules - Do NOT rewrite sections that haven't changed - Do NOT break existing analogies unless the underlying system changed - If a technology was replaced, update the "crew" analogy (or equivalent) - Keep the same voice — if the original is casual, stay casual - Flag anything you're uncertain about: "I noticed [X] but couldn't determine if [Y]"
