name: write-comments description: Writes explanatory comments to code to improve readability for developers and AI systems. Use when documenting code or improving code comprehension.

Write Comments to Code

Your primary objective is to clarify the code's purpose and intent for a new developer. If the code is self-evident, do not add a comment.

Process

1. Analyze the code to understand its structure and functionality
2. Identify key components, functions, loops, conditionals, and any complex logic
3. Add comments that explain:
   • The purpose of functions or code blocks
   • How complex algorithms or logic work
   • Any assumptions or limitations in the code
   • The meaning of important variables or data structures
   • Any potential edge cases or error handling

Formatting

• Every comment must start with a capital letter and end with a period.
• Multi-line docblocks (/** ... */) must have the /** and */ on their own, separate lines.

Content and Placement

• Docblocks (/** ... */): Use for all exported members (functions, types, hooks, constants) and complex internal logic. Explain what the item is for.
• Single-line (//): Use for brief, inline explanations of non-obvious implementation details or to label logical sections within a function.
• Focus on the "why" and "how" rather than just the "what".
• Preserve the original code's formatting and structure.
• Do not change the code's functionality.

Deletion Mandates

• DELETE any comment that merely restates what the code does (e.g., // Increment counter).
• DELETE all commented-out code blocks. Use version control for history.
