By name: sync-context description: Update context files to reflect current codebase state — new components, changed APIs, new patterns, and reasoning behind non-obvious decisions. Routes updates to the correct file based on what changed. Run after any significant design change before committing.
Update context files to reflect the current state of the codebase.
Step 1 — Gather what changed
git diff HEAD
git log --oneline -10
git diff HEAD --name-only | grep -E '\.(tsx|ts)$'
Step 2 — Classify each change and route to the correct file
| Change type | Target file |
|---|---|
| New component, removed component, changed component props | packages/ui/CLAUDE.md (component catalog table) |
| New focus pattern, focus anti-pattern, useInteractive API change | .claude/rules/focus-system.md |
| New AI SDK convention, changed part types or states | .claude/rules/ai-sdk.md |
| New layout rule, intrinsic element, borderStyle | .claude/rules/opentui-layout.md |
| Non-obvious design decision worth preserving | .claude/rules/design-decisions.md |
| New docs convention, demo pattern | packages/docs/CLAUDE.md |
| New universal anti-pattern, import rule, test command | Root CLAUDE.md |
Step 3 — For each update, evaluate
- Is this new or already documented? (Don't duplicate)
- Is the "why" non-obvious? (Only document if a future engineer might undo without understanding)
- Is existing documentation still accurate? (Update or remove stale entries)
- Is this a permanent pattern or temporary workaround? (Only document permanent)
Step 4 — Apply updates
Read the target file, then edit it following the existing format:
- Component catalog: add/update row in the table
- Rules: add section or update existing content
- Anti-patterns: add
-bullet item - Design decisions: add
##section with rationale
Step 5 — Verify
- Root
CLAUDE.mdmust stay under 100 lines - No duplicate information across files
- All updated files have correct content
What NOT to add
- Implementation details that belong in code comments
- Tutorials or guides
- Obvious decisions that don't need rationale
- Bug workarounds or version-specific notes
- Anything derivable from reading the code directly
