DEPRECATED and retired as of 2026-08-20. Do not invoke, and do not schedule. This skill scanned for merged PRODUCT.md specs and auto-drafted docs PRs, which produced documentation for features that had not shipped. Docs for newly shipped features are now triggered by the weekly release and gated on documentation-worthiness by the missing_docs skill in warpdotdev/docs. If you were about to run this skill to find docs gaps, run missing_docs in drift-watch mode instead.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

scan-new-specs (deprecated)

Retired 2026-08-20. Do not invoke this skill and do not schedule it.

Its scheduled agent (0ITuF9vNJ1RiO00Szlm1fW) is paused and stays paused.

Why it was retired

The skill fired on spec merge, which happens before a feature ships. Two failures followed from that single design choice:

  • It drafted docs for unreleased and sometimes abandoned work. A merged spec is not a shipped feature. The agent had no evidence of what users had actually received, so pages were written for behavior that had not landed, or had landed differently, or never landed at all.
  • It treated every spec as a docs task. Nothing asked whether a change warranted documentation. Pure UI changes, small intuitive additions, and behind-the-scenes work all became draft PRs, and the docs repo accumulated unvetted content debt faster than anyone could review it.

What replaces it

The missing_docs skill in warpdotdev/docs, running in drift-watch mode. It differs in the two ways that matter:

  • Release-triggered. scripts/check_new_release.py gates each run on a new stable release, so the pipeline sees what actually shipped rather than what was planned. A daily schedule does per-release work.
  • Gated on worthiness. Every candidate is evaluated against .agents/references/docs-worthiness-criteria.md before anything is drafted, with a default of no docs and a requirement to name concrete evidence. Verdicts, including rejections, are recorded in references/changelog_decisions.md so nothing is re-litigated.

Anything genuinely worth documenting re-surfaces there once it ships.

If you were about to run this

  • Looking for docs gaps? Run missing_docs in drift-watch mode from the warpdotdev/docs repo.
  • You are an engineer who wants docs for your feature? Invoke write-feature-docs directly and interactively. It still works, and it still walks you through spec research and outline confirmation. It no longer runs headlessly.
  • Setting up a scheduled docs agent? Use missing_docs, not this. Scheduling this skill reintroduces exactly the flooding it was retired for.
