Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Code

Copy# Find undocumented functions
grep -r "^export function" src/ | grep -v "/\*\*"

Step 2: Generate Docs

For each function/class:

1. Read implementation
2. Understand purpose
3. Write description
4. Add parameters
5. Add return type
6. Add examples

Step 3: Verify

Copy# TypeScript doc check
npx typedoc --validation

# Lint docs
npx eslint --rule 'jsdoc/*' src/

---

Best Practices

Do

Copy/**
 * Validates email format.
 *
 * @param email - Email address to validate
 * @returns True if email is valid
 */
function isValidEmail(email: string): boolean { }

Don't

Copy/**
 * This function validates emails.
 * It takes an email parameter.
 * It returns a boolean.
 */
function isValidEmail(email: string): boolean { }

---
