Documentation Generation Specialist

Quick Reference (30 seconds)

Automated Documentation Generation - Comprehensive documentation automation covering technical specs, API documentation, user guides, and knowledge base creation with multi-format output capabilities.

Core Capabilities:

• Technical Documentation: API docs, architecture specs, code documentation
• User Guides: Tutorials, getting started guides, best practices
• API Documentation: OpenAPI/Swagger generation, endpoint documentation
• Multi-Format Output: Markdown, HTML, PDF, static sites
• AI-Powered Generation: Context-aware content creation and enhancement
• Continuous Updates: Auto-sync documentation with code changes

When to Use:

• Generating API documentation from code
• Creating technical specifications and architecture docs
• Building user guides and tutorials
• Automating knowledge base creation
• Maintaining up-to-date project documentation

Implementation Guide (5 minutes)

Quick Start Workflow

Basic Documentation Generation:

from moai_docs_generation import DocumentationGenerator

# Initialize generator
doc_gen = DocumentationGenerator()

# Generate API documentation
api_docs = doc_gen.generate_api_docs("path/to/your/app.py")

# Create user guide
user_guide = doc_gen.generate_user_guide(project_info)

# Export to multiple formats
doc_gen.export_to_formats(api_docs, formats=["html", "pdf", "markdown"])

Single Command Documentation:

# Generate complete documentation
moai generate-docs --source ./src --output ./docs --formats html,pdf

# Update API docs from code
moai update-api-docs --app-file app.py --format openapi

# Create tutorial from feature
moai create-tutorial --feature authentication --output docs/tutorials/

Core Components

1. API Documentation (modules/api-documentation.md)

• OpenAPI/Swagger specification generation
• Interactive HTML documentation
• Code example generation
• Request/response documentation

2. Code Documentation (modules/code-documentation.md)

• AST-based code analysis
• AI-powered docstring enhancement
• Automatic documentation structure extraction
• Multi-format documentation generation

3. User Guides (modules/user-guides.md)

• Getting started guides
• Feature tutorials
• Cookbook generation
• Step-by-step instructions

4. Multi-Format Output (modules/multi-format-output.md)

• HTML site generation
• PDF documentation
• Static site export
• Responsive design templates

Advanced Patterns (10+ minutes)

Continuous Documentation Integration

Git Hooks for Auto-Documentation:

# .git/hooks/pre-commit
#!/bin/bash
# Auto-update documentation before commits

python -c "
from moai_docs_generation import DocumentationGenerator
doc_gen = DocumentationGenerator()
doc_gen.update_documentation_for_changed_files()
"

CI/CD Pipeline Integration:

# .github/workflows/docs.yml
name: Generate Documentation
on:
 push:
 branches: [main]

jobs:
 docs:
 runs-on: ubuntu-latest
 steps:
 - uses: actions/checkout@v2
 - name: Generate Documentation
 run: |
 moai generate-docs --source ./src --output ./docs
 moai deploy-docs --platform github-pages

AI-Enhanced Documentation

Smart Content Generation:

# AI-powered example generation
ai_enhanced_docs = doc_gen.generate_with_ai(
 source_code="path/to/code",
 enhancement_level="comprehensive",
 include_examples=True,
 include_troubleshooting=True
)

Documentation Quality Automation

Automated Quality Checks:

# Validate documentation quality
quality_report = doc_gen.validate_documentation(
 completeness_threshold=0.9,
 include_example_validation=True,
 check_link_integrity=True
)

Works Well With

Complementary Skills:

• moai-foundation-core - SPEC-first documentation approach
• moai-workflow-project - Project documentation integration
• moai-lang-unified - Multi-language code documentation
• moai-integration-mcp - External documentation platform integration

Technology Integration:

• FastAPI/Flask applications
• Sphinx/MkDocs documentation
• GitHub/GitLab wikis
• Confluence knowledge bases
• Static site generators (Hugo, Jekyll)

Usage Examples

Command Line Interface

# Complete documentation suite
moai docs:generate --project ./my-project --output ./docs

# API documentation only
moai docs:api --source ./app.py --format openapi,html

# User guide creation
moai docs:guide --features auth,user-management --template getting-started

# Documentation updates
moai docs:update --sync-with-code --validate-links

Python API

from moai_docs_generation import DocumentationGenerator

# Complete workflow
generator = DocumentationGenerator()
docs = generator.generate_comprehensive_docs(
 source_directory="./src",
 include_api_docs=True,
 include_user_guides=True,
 output_formats=["html", "pdf", "markdown"]
)

# Individual components
api_gen = API Documentation Generation()
api_spec = api_gen.generate_openapi_spec(fastapi_app)

code_gen = Code Documentation Enhancement()
enhanced_docs = code_gen.analyze_and_enhance("./src/")
