Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With new source files being added regularly, manually documenting code modules, classes, and functions is becoming time-consuming and error-prone. Documentation often lags behind code changes, leading to outdated or missing API documentation.
Describe the solution you'd like
An automated code documentation extraction system that:
-
Automated API Documentation
- Extract docstrings from all Python modules
- Generate formatted API reference pages
- Create cross-references between modules
- Include usage examples from docstrings
-
Code Analysis and Documentation
- Generate module dependency graphs
- Extract and document public interfaces
- Identify and document configuration options
- Create class hierarchy documentation
-
Integration Pipeline
- Integrate with Issue [DOCS] [GOOD FIRST ISSUE] Add comprehensive API documentation for eval_runner module #1 documentation generation
- Update documentation on code changes
- Validate documentation completeness
- Generate change logs for API modifications
Implementation Approach
# Code documentation extraction
python scripts/extract_code_docs.py --module eval_runner
python scripts/extract_code_docs.py --all-modules
python scripts/generate_api_reference.py
# Integration with main documentation
python scripts/integrate_docs.py --code-docs --guides-docsExpected Output

- Python AST parsing for code analysis
- Sphinx-style docstring parsing
- Markdown generation with cross-references
- Integration with existing documentation workflow
- Git integration for change detection
Acceptance Criteria
- Automated extraction of all public APIs
- Formatted API reference documentation
- Cross-references between related modules
- Integration with main documentation system
- CI/CD pipeline updates docs automatically
- Validation of documentation completeness
- Change detection and incremental updates
Benefits
- Always current API documentation
- Reduced manual documentation burden
- Consistent formatting and structure
- Better discoverability of APIs
- Automated validation of documentation completeness
Additional Context
This complements Issue #1 by focusing specifically on code documentation extraction, while Issue #1 handles higher-level guide generation.
Estimated Effort
- Medium (1 week)
Dependencies
- Issue [DOCS] [GOOD FIRST ISSUE] Add comprehensive API documentation for eval_runner module #1 (Documentation generation system)
- Python code analysis libraries
- Documentation templating system
