Python Doc Generator FAQs

Question 1

Which docstring formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

The skill handles common Python docstring styles including Google, NumPy, and Sphinx/ReStructuredText formats to ensure compatibility with your existing standards.

Question 2

Does it include private methods in the documentation?

Accepted Answer

By default, the skill skips private members (those with a leading underscore) to keep documentation clean, unless you explicitly request their inclusion.

Question 3

Does this skill require external dependencies?

Accepted Answer

No, it primarily uses the Python standard library, specifically the 'ast' and 'inspect' modules, for parsing and introspection without needing third-party tools.

Question 4

What happens if my code is missing docstrings or type hints?

Accepted Answer

The skill handles missing data gracefully by noting 'No description provided' while still extracting the function signatures and structural information.

Question 5

Can I document an entire project at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can provide a directory path, and the skill will recursively process all .py files within that directory to generate a unified documentation structure.
