The original title is "One small AI workflow that solved our stale API documentation problem"

Short summary

A backend team uses a CLAUDE.md instruction file to automatically keep API documentation updated whenever endpoints change, eliminating a recurring documentation backlog. The docs live in a Voiden repository using .void files designed to be AI-readable, so any AI agent can understand the API context without re-prompting. The approach treats AI instruction files as part of the engineering process rather than just project setup.

• •CLAUDE.md encodes a rule to update docs on every API change automatically
• •Documentation is stored in AI-readable .void files for multi-agent compatibility
• •Small workflow shift removes a persistent documentation maintenance problem
