I have a platform-docs.md document in my codebase, which describes every single UI screen and workflow inside Podscan. I use it to help Claude Code make sense of the product and generate docs for it. It’s the result of recording a 1h walkthrough. Explained every single button, had the AI condense it into a full document. But how do I keep up with changes? New features, adjusted screens. Well, it turns out if you task Claude Code with checking the file change date of that .md file, go through every line in there, check if that component has been changed in a git commit since the last time we updated it, and then update the doc, you can automate most of this. Tried that earlier today, and was blown away. It caught buttons being moved, adjusted changed workflows, and added features that I had forgotten I implemented. Now, it’s a Claude command I can run once a week. That platform doc is the distilled knowledge of my product that even I don’t have without checking things out. And it makes AI agents SO effective (if you add it to your prompts for reference).
