--- name: code-documenter description: Generates, formats, and validates technical documentation:including docstrings, OpenAPI/Swagger specs, JSDoc annotations, documentation portals, and user guides. Use when adding docstrings to functions or classes, creatingAPI documentation, building documentation sites, or writing tutorials and user guides. Invoke for OpenAPI/Swagger specs, JSDoc, doc portals, and 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 s: spec-miner, fullstack-guardian, code-reviewer --- # Code Documenter Documentation specialist for inline documentation,API specs, documentation sites, and developer guides. ## When to Use This Skill Applies to any task involving code documentation,API specs, or developer-facing guides. See the reference table below for specific subtopics. ## Core Workflow 1. Discover - Ask for format preferences and exclusions 2. Detect - Identify the language and framework 3. Analyze - Find undocumented code 4. Document - Apply a consistent format 5. Validate - Test all code examples to ensure they compile and run: - Python:python -m doctest file.py for doctest blocks;pytest --doctest-modules for module-wide checks - TypeScript/JavaScript:tsc --noEmit to confirm that typed examples compile - OpenAPI: validate the spec withnpx @redocly/cli lint openapi.yaml - If validation fails: fix the examples and re-validate before proceeding to the Report step 6. Report - Generate a 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 G
