Docstring & API Reference Standard Skill (docstring)

The docstring skill enforces function-level, module-level, and API reference documentation standards across Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript codebases.

Operational Standards

1. Python Docstrings (PEP-257 & Google Style):

• Include raw strings (r"""...""") when LaTeX math or backslashes are present.
• Every public module, function, and class must declare Args, Returns, Raises, and Example sections where appropriate.
• Explain function intent, contracts, side effects, and failure modes rather than repeating code line-by-line.

1. TypeScript & JavaScript JSDoc Comments:

• Provide file header @file overview JSDoc comments for all scripts.
• Annotate all exported functions with @param, @returns, and @throws.

1. Code Example Hygiene:

• Ensure provided docstring code examples are tested, valid, and reproducible.

FAQs

When should raw docstrings (r"""...""") be used?

Use raw triple-quoted strings whenever docstrings contain backslashes, regular expressions, or LaTeX notation.

Can this skill be used for non-PyTorch / non-Python languages?

Yes, while inspired by PyTorch and Google Python conventions, the core principles apply to JSDoc (JavaScript/TypeScript) and function comment standards.
