## What it does

This skill drafts JSDoc for functions, classes, interfaces, and generic types. It covers `@param`, `@returns`, `@throws`, `@example`, `@remarks`, `@see`, and `@deprecated`, with documentation patterns for React, NestJS, Express, Angular, and Vue.

For API reference output, it configures TypeDoc with an entry point such as `src/index.ts` and an output folder of `docs/api`. The sample configuration sets `excludePrivate` to true, so private members stay out of generated reference pages. That is a good boundary for public API docs, but internal code may need separate documentation.

The skill also provides an ADR structure covering status, context, decision, and consequences. It includes ESLint rules for documentation checks and a GitHub Actions workflow that generates and validates docs. Angular projects can use `npx compodoc -p tsconfig.json`, while JSDoc validation runs with `eslint --ext .ts src/`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-docs -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/typescript-docs/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/typescript-docs/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-docs -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/typescript-docs/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-docs -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/typescript-docs/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit typescript-docs
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/typescript-docs/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-docs -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --path plugins/developer-kit-typescript/skills/typescript-docs
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/typescript-docs/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-docs -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/tree/HEAD/plugins/developer-kit-typescript/skills/typescript-docs/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- document public TypeScript APIs with JSDoc
- generate an API reference with TypeDoc
- record an architecture decision in an ADR
- validate parameter and return descriptions with ESLint
- add documentation generation to GitHub Actions

## Example prompts
- Add JSDoc to the public classes and functions in `src/`.
- Configure TypeDoc from `src/index.ts` and write the API reference to `docs/api`.
- Create an ADR for enabling TypeScript strict mode.

# TypeScript Documentation

Generate production-ready TypeScript documentation with layered architecture for multiple audiences. Supports API docs with TypeDoc, ADRs, and framework-specific patterns.

## Overview

Use JSDoc annotations for inline documentation, TypeDoc for API reference generation, and ADRs for tracking design choices.

**Key capabilities:**
- TypeDoc configuration and API documentation generation
- JSDoc patterns for all TypeScript constructs
- ADR creation and maintenance
- Framework-specific patterns (NestJS, React, Express, Angular, Vue)
- ESLint validation rules for documentation quality
- GitHub Actions pipeline setup

## When to Use

Use this skill when creating API documentation, architectural decision records, code examples, or framework-specific patterns for NestJS, Express, React, Angular, or Vue.

## Quick Reference

| Tool | Purpose | Command |
|------|---------|---------|
| TypeDoc | API documentation generation | `npx typedoc` |
| Compodoc | Angular documentation | `npx compodoc -p tsconfig.json` |
| ESLint JSDoc | Documentation validation | `eslint --ext .ts src/` |

### JSDoc Tags

| Tag | Use Case |
|-----|----------|
| `@param` | Document parameters |
| `@returns` | Document return values |
| `@throws` | Document error conditions |
| `@example` | Provide code examples |
| `@remarks` | Add implementation notes |
| `@see` | Cross-reference related items |
| `@deprecated` | Mark deprecated APIs |

## Instructions

### 1. Configure TypeDoc

```bash
npm install --save-dev typedoc typedoc-plugin-markdown
```

```json
{
  "entryPoints": ["src/index.ts"],
  "out": "docs/api",
  "theme": "markdown",
  "excludePrivate": true,
  "readme": "README.md"
}
```

### 2. Add JSDoc Comments

```typescript
/**
 * Service for managing user authentication
 *
 * @remarks
 * Handles JWT-based authentication with bcrypt password hashing.
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const authService = new AuthService(config);
 * const token = await authService.login(email, password);
 * ```
 *
 * @security
 * - Passwords hashed with bcrypt (cost factor 12)
 * - JWT tokens signed with RS256
 */
@Injectable()
export class AuthService {
  /**
   * Authenticates a user and returns access tokens
````
