About code-documentation
A skill for creating and maintaining TSDoc in TypeScript projects, for developers documenting APIs, types, and modules. It provides templates and workflows for generating and synchronizing comments, with a policy that tests and stories serve as examples.
Key features
- 01TSDoc templates for APIs and types
- 02Four-phase documentation workflow
- 03Comment cleanup and synchronization
- 04Guidance for removing orphaned docs
- 05No @example sections
Use cases
- 01Documenting public API functions and types
- 02Reviewing or updating TSDoc comments
- 03Synchronizing comments after code changes

Purpose
This skill provides TSDoc format templates, type documentation guidelines, and maintenance workflows. Use this when:
- Writing or editing TSDoc comments for any function, type, or module
- Reviewing documentation quality
- Creating comprehensive API documentation
- Documenting complex type structures
- Cleaning up non-compliant comments (performance notes, timestamps, inline explanations)
- Synchronizing out-of-sync TSDoc with code changes
- Removing orphaned documentation for deleted code
Key Standard: No @example sections - tests and stories serve as living examples.
Quick Reference
- Creating TSDoc: See workflow.md for the generation workflow
- Maintaining TSDoc: See maintenance.md for cleanup and sync guidelines
This skill contains detailed templates for:
- Public API Functions
- Internal Module Documentation
- Public and Internal Types
- Helper Functions
- Behavioral Programming Functions
- Special Annotations (Security, Performance, Deprecated)
- Type Documentation (Complex Objects, Unions, Functions, Utilities, Branded Types, etc.)
