Luong NGUYEN 8f045173d1 docs: sync to Claude Code v2.1.212 (#154)
* docs: sync to Claude Code v2.1.212

Bumps tutorial coverage from the v2.1.206 baseline (2026-07-11 sync) to
v2.1.212, plus a repo-internal accuracy audit that surfaced defects
independent of the version delta.

Fixed:
- Dead `#` memory-shortcut removed from 02-memory/README.md (two places
  documented a discontinued quick-memory-add pattern as working, directly
  contradicting the file's own commands table)
- Auto mode opt-in -> opt-out on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (v2.1.207)
- `auto` permission mode mislabeled "Research Preview" across
  09-advanced-features/README.md, CATALOG.md, README.md, and the vi/ja/zh/uk
  translations (auto mode is GA, gated only by plan/model/provider)
- `/fork` / `/branch` history corrected: they were a single aliased command
  only from v2.1.77 to v2.1.161, not "renamed" as previously stated
- `effort` frontmatter enum in 04-subagents/README.md completed with `xhigh`
- Bundled-skills count reconciled in CATALOG.md (9 -> 10)
- INDEX.md Skills section count and Feature Coverage Matrix Total column
  fully recomputed and reconciled (Skills: 22, Plugins: 39)
- Stale 2.1.160 footer cluster (5 files) bumped to 2.1.212
- QUICK_REFERENCE.md fully resynced (was 52 versions behind)
- 02-memory/README.md's Memory Hierarchy section rewritten: replaced a
  fabricated 8-tier strict-precedence model with the verified structure
  (CLAUDE.md files are concatenated into context, not overridden; 4 real
  location tiers; rules and auto memory are separate mechanisms)
- 02-memory/README.md's Memory Architecture diagram no longer conflates
  claude.ai's 24h synthesis cycle with Claude Code's continuous auto memory
- Import recursion depth corrected (was documented as 5, actually 4 hops)

Added:
- Subagent output scanning (v2.1.210) documented in 04-subagents/README.md
- Session-wide spawn caps (v2.1.212): WebSearch and subagent limits
- MCP long-running-tool auto-backgrounding (v2.1.212) in 05-mcp/README.md
- `claude auto-mode reset` and `/resume` picker (v2.1.212)
- Screen reader mode (v2.1.208): --ax-screen-reader / CLAUDE_AX_SCREEN_READER
- Task tool `mode` parameter deprecation note (v2.1.212)

Known gaps (deferred, not fixed this pass):
- 03-skills/blog-draft/ vs 03-skills/.claude/skills/blog-draft/: confirmed
  the latter is gitignored local testing scratch, not a repo duplicate

* fix(INDEX): correct Skills row arithmetic and stale changelog notes

INDEX.md's Skills header/matrix shipped as 22 (5+9+8) despite the PR's
own CHANGELOG claiming it was fixed to 21 — three independent counts
(file-type breakdown, filesystem listing, changelog intent) agree on
21; the Docs column was off by one. Also removes two stale CHANGELOG
"Known gaps" entries this same PR already resolved (memory hierarchy
rewrite, blog-draft gitignore confirmation) and adds the missing
Fixed-section bullet documenting the memory hierarchy rewrite.

What's Included

Slash Commands

  • /generate-api-docs - Generate API documentation
  • /generate-readme - Create or update README
  • /sync-docs - Sync docs with code changes
  • /validate-docs - Validate documentation

Subagents

  • api-documenter - API documentation specialist
  • code-commentator - Code comment improvements
  • example-generator - Code example creation

Templates

  • api-endpoint.md - API endpoint documentation template
  • function-docs.md - Function documentation template
  • adr-template.md - Architecture Decision Record template

MCP Servers

  • GitHub integration for documentation syncing

Usage

Generate API Documentation

/generate-api-docs

Create README

/generate-readme

Sync Documentation

/sync-docs

Validate Documentation

/validate-docs

Requirements

  • Claude Code 1.0+
  • GitHub access (optional)

Example Workflow

User: /generate-api-docs

Claude:
1. Scans all API endpoints in /src/api/
2. Delegates to api-documenter subagent
3. Extracts function signatures and JSDoc
4. Organizes by module/endpoint
5. Uses api-endpoint.md template
6. Generates comprehensive markdown docs
7. Includes curl, JavaScript, and Python examples

Result:
✅ API documentation generated
📄 Files created:
   - docs/api/users.md
   - docs/api/auth.md
   - docs/api/products.md
📊 Coverage: 23/23 endpoints documented

Templates Usage

API Endpoint Template

Use for documenting REST API endpoints with full examples.

Function Documentation Template

Use for documenting individual functions/methods.

ADR Template

Use for documenting architectural decisions.

Configuration

Set up GitHub token for documentation syncing:

export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token"

Best Practices

  • Keep documentation close to code
  • Update docs with code changes
  • Include practical examples
  • Validate regularly
  • Use templates for consistency
