    """
    pass

Usage Examples¶

Example 1: Build Documentation Locally¶

# Install documentation dependencies
pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material mkdocstrings

# Serve documentation locally
mkdocs serve

# Build static site
mkdocs build

# Output in site/ directory
ls -la site/

Example 2: Generate API Documentation¶

# Generate API docs with pdoc
pdoc --html --output-dir docs/api src/codex

# Generate with Sphinx
cd docs
make html
open _build/html/index.html

Example 3: Validate Documentation¶

# scripts/validate_docs.py
"""
Documentation validation script.

Safeguard: Validates all documentation links and code examples.
Validation: Checks for broken links and syntax errors.
"""
import re
from pathlib import Path

def validate_links(docs_dir: Path) -> list:
    """
    Validate all markdown links in documentation.

    Safeguard: Bounded file reads to prevent memory issues.
    """
    broken_links = []

    for md_file in docs_dir.glob("**/*.md"):
        content = md_file.read_text()[:100000]  # Bounded read

        # Find markdown links
        links = re.findall(r'\[([^\]]+)\]\(([^)]+)\)', content)

        for text, url in links:
            if url.startswith('#') or url.startswith('http'):
                continue

            # Check relative links
            target = md_file.parent / url
            if not target.exists():
                broken_links.append({
                    'file': str(md_file),
                    'link': url,
                    'text': text
                })

    return broken_links

if __name__ == "__main__":
    broken = validate_links(Path("docs"))
    if broken:
        print(f"Found {len(broken)} broken links")
        for link in broken:
            print(f"  {link['file']}: {link['link']}")
        exit(1)
    print("All links valid!")

Example 4: CI Documentation Check¶

# .github/workflows/docs.yml
name: Documentation

on:
  push:
    paths:
      - 'docs/**'
      - 'src/**/*.py'

jobs:
  build-docs:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Setup Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: '3.11'

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material mkdocstrings

      - name: Build documentation
        run: mkdocs build --strict

      - name: Validate links
        run: python scripts/validate_docs.py

      - name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
        if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
        run: mkdocs gh-deploy --force

Example 5: Auto-generate README Sections¶

# scripts/generate_readme.py
"""
Generate README sections from code analysis.

Safeguard: Validates output before writing.
"""
from pathlib import Path
import ast

def extract_module_docstrings(src_dir: Path) -> dict:
    """Extract module-level docstrings from Python files."""
    modules = {}

    for py_file in src_dir.glob("**/*.py"):
        try:
            content = py_file.read_text()[:50000]  # Bounded read
            tree = ast.parse(content)
            docstring = ast.get_docstring(tree)
            if docstring:
                modules[py_file.stem] = docstring.split('\n')[0]
        except SyntaxError:
            continue

    return modules

def generate_module_list(modules: dict) -> str:
    """Generate markdown list of modules."""
    lines = ["## Modules\n"]
    for name, desc in sorted(modules.items()):
        lines.append(f"- **{name}**: {desc}")
    return '\n'.join(lines)

Safeguards¶

Documentation Safeguards¶

Validation: All links checked before deployment
Code Examples: Python syntax validated
Bounded Reads: File reads limited to prevent memory issues
Schema Validation: YAML configurations validated
Spell Check: Automated spell checking in CI

Build Safeguards¶

# Safe documentation build with validation
docs-build:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - name: Build with strict mode
      run: mkdocs build --strict
      # Fails on warnings

    - name: Validate HTML
      run: |
        pip install html5validator
        html5validator --root site/

    - name: Check for broken links
      run: |
        pip install linkchecker
        linkchecker site/index.html

Best Practices¶

Write Docstrings: Every public function should have docstrings
Use Templates: Follow consistent documentation structure
Include Examples: At least 3 usage examples per capability
Cross-Reference: Link to related documentation
Keep Updated: Update docs when code changes
Validate in CI: Automated checks on every PR
Use Diagrams: Visual aids for complex concepts
Version Docs: Match docs versions to code versions

Troubleshooting¶

Build Failures¶

# Check for syntax errors
mkdocs build 2>&1 | grep -i error

# Validate YAML
python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('mkdocs.yml'))"

# Check for missing files
mkdocs build --strict 2>&1 | grep "not found"

Missing API Documentation¶

# Verify docstrings exist
python -c "from codex import module; print(module.__doc__)"

# Check mkdocstrings configuration
grep -A10 "mkdocstrings" mkdocs.yml

Search Not Working¶

# Rebuild search index
mkdocs build --clean

# Check search plugin is enabled
grep "search" mkdocs.yml

Integration¶

IDE Integration¶

// .vscode/settings.json
{
  "python.analysis.typeCheckingMode": "basic",
  "python.linting.pylintEnabled": true,
  "autoDocstring.docstringFormat": "google"
}

Pre-commit Hooks¶

# .pre-commit-config.yaml
repos:
  - repo: local
    hooks:
      - id: validate-docs
        name: Validate Documentation
        entry: python scripts/validate_docs.py
        language: python
        types: [markdown]

Status Reporting - Generate status reports
CI/CD Pipeline - Documentation deployment
Code Quality Tooling - Code analysis
