An autonomous coding agent's documentation began to decay rapidly due to its focus on code changes over prose maintenance. To address this, the agent was enhanced with a dedicated documentation synchronization pass that runs after code modifications. This pass identifies specific claims in the documentation that are no longer accurate based on the code changes, and only updates those, preventing unnecessary documentation edits and ensuring the docs remain current with the codebase.
