FAQPage Schema
How do I generate godoc comments and a README for my Go project?

To generate Go project documentation, run an automated skill that audits your source files and creates missing godoc comments, README files, CONTRIBUTING guides, and CHANGELOGs. It applies tailored steps for both library and CLI application codebases.

What is llms.txt and how does it help document Go codebases?

llms.txt is an AI-friendly documentation file generated for Go projects to make codebases clear and accessible. Creating it alongside README and godoc comments helps both human contributors and automated tools understand your project structure.

Does the documentation generation process work for both Go libraries and CLI applications?

Yes, Go documentation generation supports both library and application/CLI projects with tailored steps. It guides the creation of exported symbol comments, Example test functions, and Go Playground demo links specific to your project type.

Can I validate generated godoc comments using golangci-lint and go tools?

Yes, the Go documentation generation process may invoke tools such as go, golangci-lint, and git to validate and update documentation. This ensures your generated godoc comments and repository files maintain project integrity.

What is the best way to add Go Playground demos and Example tests to my repository?

The best way to add Go Playground demos is to use a documentation skill that generates Example test functions and demo links automatically. It provides a checklist for repository files and enables parallel sub-agents to handle large codebases efficiently.

Why does generating documentation for large Go codebases require parallel sub-agents?

Generating Go documentation for large codebases requires parallel sub-agents to process multiple packages efficiently. This approach handles the volume of exported symbols, internal functions, and repository files without overwhelming the system.
