README

Excerpt

Code Documentation

This skill enables an AI agent to analyze source code and produce high-quality documentation in multiple formats. It covers everything from single-function docstrings to full project README files, ensuring that both human developers and downstream tooling (IDEs, doc generators) benefit from consistent, accurate descriptions.

Workflow

Inventory the Codebase: Walk the project tree and catalog public modules, classes, functions, constants, and type definitions. Note which symbols already have documentation and which are missing or stale.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
