name: are-update description: Incrementally update documentation for changed files disable-model-invocation: true

Update documentation for files that changed since last run.

Steps

1. Read version: Read .claude/ARE-VERSION → store as $VERSION. Show the user: agents-reverse-engineer v$VERSION

2. Run the update command in the background using run_in_background: true:

   npx agents-reverse-engineer@$VERSION update --backend claude $ARGUMENTS
   

3. Monitor progress by polling the latest progress log:

   • Wait ~15 seconds (use sleep 15 in Bash), then use Glob to find the latest .agents-reverse-engineer/progress-*.log file, and Read it (use the offset parameter to read only the last ~20 lines for long files)
   • Show the user a brief progress update (e.g. "12/30 files updated, ~5m remaining")
   • Check whether the background task has completed using TaskOutput with block: false
   • Repeat until the background task finishes
   • Important: Keep polling even if no progress log exists yet (the command takes a few seconds to start writing)

4. On completion, read the full background task output and summarize:

   • Files updated
   • Files unchanged
   • Any orphaned docs cleaned up

Options:

• --uncommitted: Include staged but uncommitted changes
• --dry-run: Show what would be updated without writing
• --eval: Namespace output by backend.model for side-by-side comparison
• --concurrency N: Control number of parallel AI calls (default: auto)
• --fail-fast: Stop on first file analysis failure
• --debug: Show AI prompts and backend details
• --trace: Enable concurrency tracing to .agents-reverse-engineer/traces/
