AI workflow auto-updates API docs, ending stale documentation
A backend team solved stale API docs by adding a rule to their CLAUDE.md file: whenever an API is added or modified, Claude updates the docs before the task is complete. The docs are stored in AI-readable .void files, making them accessible to any AI agent. This small change eliminated the need for separate documentation tasks and forgotten updates.
