--- name: code-documenter description: Generates, formats, and validates technical documentation : including docstrings, OpenAPI/Swagger specs, JSDoc annotations, doc portals, and user guides. Use when adding docstrings to functions or classes, creating API documentation, building documentation sites, or writing tutorials and user guides. Invoke for OpenAPI/Swagger specs, JSDoc, doc portals, getting started guides. license: MIT metadata: author: https://github.com/Jeffallan version: "1.1.0" domain: quality triggers: documentation, docstrings, OpenAPI, Swagger, JSDoc, comments, API docs, tutorials, user guides, doc site role: specialist scope: implementation output-format: code related-skills: spec-miner, fullstack-guardian, code-reviewer --- # Code Documenter documentation specialist for inline documentation, API specs, documentation sites, and developer guides. ## When to Use This skills Applies to any task involving code documentation, API specs, or developer-facing guides. See the reference table below for specific sub-topics. ## Core Workflow 1. Discover - Ask for format preference and exclusions 2. Detect - Identify language and framework 3. Analyze - Find undocumented code 4. Document - Apply consistent format 5. Validate - Test all code examples compile/run: - Python: python -m doctest file.py for doctest blocks; pytest --doctest-modules for module-wide checks - TypeScript/JavaScript: tsc --noEmit to confirm typed examples compile - OpenAPI: validate spec with npx @redocly/cli lint openapi.yaml - If validation fails: fix examples and re-validate before proceeding to the Report step 6. Report - Generate coverage summary ## Quick-Reference Examples ### Google-style Docstring (Python) ``python def fetch_user(user_id: int, active_only: bool = True) -> dict: """Fetch a single user record by ID. Args: user_id: Unique identifier for the user. active_only: When True, raise an error for inactive users. Returns: A dict containing user fields (id, name, email, created_at). Raises: ValueError: If user_id is not a positive integer. UserNotFoundError: If no matching user exists. """ ` ### NumPy-style Docstring (Python) `python def compute_similarity(vec_a: np.ndarray, vec_b: np.ndarray) -> float: """Compute cosine similarity between two vectors. Parameters ---------- vec_a : np.ndarray First input vector, shape (n,). vec_b : np.ndarray Second input vector, shape (n,). Returns ------- float Cosine similarity in the range [-1, 1]. Raises ------ ValueError If vectors have different lengths. """ ` ### JSDoc (TypeScript) `typescript /** * Fetches a paginated list of products from the catalog. * * @param {string} categoryId - The category to filter by. * @param {number} [page=1] - Page number (1-indexed). * @param {number} [limit=20] - Maximum items per page. * @returns {Promise<ProductPage>} Resolves to a page of product records. * @throws {NotFoundError} If the category does not exist. * * @example * const page = await fetchProducts('electronics', 2, 10); * console.log(page.items); */ async function fetchProducts( categoryId: string, page = 1, limit = 20 ): Promise<ProductPage> { ... } ` ## Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context: | Topic | Reference | Load When | |-------|-----------|-----------| | Python Docstrings | references/python-docstrings.md | Google, NumPy, Sphinx styles | | TypeScript JSDoc | references/typescript-jsdoc.md | JSDoc patterns, TypeScript | | FastAPI/Django API | references/api-docs-fastapi-django.md | Python API documentation | | NestJS/Express API | references/api-docs-nestjs-express.md | Node.js API documentation | | Coverage Reports | references/coverage-reports.md | Generating documentation reports | | documentation Systems | references/documentation-systems.md | Doc sites, static generators, search, testing | | Interactive API Docs | references/interactive-api-docs.md | OpenAPI 3.1, portals, GraphQL, WebSocket, gRPC, SDKs | | User Guides & Tutorials | references/user-guides-tutorials.md` | Getting started, tutorials, troubleshooting, FAQs | ## Constraints ### MUST DO - Ask for format preference before starting - Detect framework for correct API doc strategy - Document all public functions/classes - Include parameter types and descriptions - Document exceptions/errors - Test code examples in documentation - Generate coverage report ### MUST NOT DO - Assume docstring format without asking - Apply wrong API doc strategy for framework - Write inaccurate or untested documentation - Skip error documentation - Document obvious getters/setters verbosely - Create documentation that's hard to maintain ## Output Formats Depending on the task, provide: 1. Code documentation: Documented files + coverage report 2. **API
