Update an existing documentation file in .chalk/docs/.

Workflow

  1. Find the doc — Search .chalk/docs/ for the file matching $ARGUMENTS. Match by filename, path, or content. If ambiguous, list candidates and ask the user to clarify.
  2. Read current content — Load the file to understand what exists.
  3. Apply changes — Update the content per the user's request. Preserve existing structure and sections where possible. Don't remove content unless explicitly asked.
  4. Update the "Last updated" line — Set to today's date with a brief change note describing what changed.
  5. Write the file — Save back to the same path.
  6. Confirm — Tell the user what was changed and the file path.

Rules

  • Preserve structure — Keep existing # and ## headings intact unless the user asks to reorganize.
  • Update, don't rewrite — Modify the specific sections relevant to the change. Don't rewrite unrelated content.
  • Last updated is required — Always update the date line. Format: Last updated: YYYY-MM-DD (<brief change note>).
  • No frontmatter — Docs are plain markdown. Don't add YAML frontmatter.
  • Respect the vertical's tone — Product docs are business-facing, AI docs are agent-facing reference-style, Engineering docs are technical and comprehensive.
