writing-stubs-and-docs

To generate typed stubs for function signatures, you can use a stub generation workflow that creates branded primitives, smart constructors, and detailed contract docstrings before passing through a typecheck gate. This ensures proper type definitions are validated early.

The RPSTIE workflow is a functional programming practice that emphasizes writing clear, typed function stubs and contract docstrings before writing tests and bodies. It integrates a typecheck gate to catch errors early before committing code changes.

You can enforce a typecheck gate before commit by authoring typed stubs that must pass type validation first. This approach catches errors early by requiring proper type definitions and branded primitives before any code changes are committed.

Yes, stub generation works with branded primitives and smart constructors. It creates typed function stubs for these specific functional programming structures, ensuring they are properly typed and documented with purpose, input, output, errors, and examples.

The best way to write docstrings for unimplemented markers is to use templates that detail purpose, input, output, errors, and examples. This provides clear documentation for typed stubs before the actual function body is written.

You need to write typed stubs when adhering to functional programming principles that require defining clear type contracts and docstrings first. This approach ensures proper type definitions are established before writing tests and bodies.
