<objective> Generate and update up to 9 documentation files for the current project. Each doc type is written by a gsd-doc-writer subagent that explores the codebase directly — no hallucinated paths, phantom endpoints, or stale signatures.

Flag handling rule:

  • The optional flags documented below are available behaviors, not implied active behaviors
  • A flag is active only when its literal token appears in `$ARGUMENTS`
  • If a documented flag is absent from `$ARGUMENTS`, treat it as inactive
  • `--force`: skip preservation prompts, regenerate all docs regardless of existing content or GSD markers
  • `--verify-only`: check existing docs for accuracy against codebase, no generation (full verification requires Phase 4 verifier)
  • If `--force` and `--verify-only` both appear in `$ARGUMENTS`, `--force` takes precedence

</objective>

<execution_context> @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/docs-update.md </execution_context>

<context> Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

**Available optional flags (documentation only — not automatically active):**

  • `--force` — Regenerate all docs. Overwrites hand-written and GSD docs alike. No preservation prompts.
  • `--verify-only` — Check existing docs for accuracy against the codebase. No files are written. Reports VERIFY marker count. Full codebase fact-checking requires the gsd-doc-verifier agent (Phase 4).

**Active flags must be derived from `$ARGUMENTS`:**

  • `--force` is active only if the literal `--force` token is present in `$ARGUMENTS`
  • `--verify-only` is active only if the literal `--verify-only` token is present in `$ARGUMENTS`
  • If neither token appears, run the standard full-phase generation flow
  • Do not infer that a flag is active just because it is documented in this prompt

</context>

<process> Execute the docs-update workflow from @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/docs-update.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (preservation_check, flag handling, wave execution, monorepo dispatch, commit, reporting). </process>
