There is natural incentive for engineers working on a project to keep Claude skills up to date. I cannot say the same for general documentation.

But maybe not for long. When we get long-running AIs, the knowledge locked inside the AI's thinking might supplant docs once again. Like if you had an engineer working at your company for a long time and knowing everything. With all the problems that implies, of course.
at any time you can ask the model to produce documents given the latest state of the code base and at an altitude you choose.
That's the weird best thing about LLMs - there is finally incentive for projects to create documentation, CLIs, tests, and well organized modular codebases, since LLMs fall flat on their face without these things!
