What's Documented

For each type in the codebase, you'll find:

• Type Information: Name, namespace, source file location
• Signature: Complete C# signature with modifiers
• Summary: XML documentation comments
• Relationships: Base types, interfaces, dependencies
• Members:
  • Properties with accessors
  • Methods with parameters and return types
  • Fields and events
  • Constructors

Diagrams

The documentation includes Mermaid diagrams that visualize:

• Class Hierarchy: Inheritance and interface implementations
• Namespace Dependencies: Cross-namespace references

These diagrams are embedded in the index and render directly in GitHub.

Regenerating Documentation

To regenerate the documentation after code changes:

cd /path/to/repository
dotnet run --project tools/Tools.CodeDocGenerator/Tools.CodeDocGenerator.csproj

This will:

1. Analyze all C# files in the repository
2. Extract type information using Roslyn
3. Generate/update Markdown documentation in /docs
4. Create Mermaid diagrams

See tools/Tools.CodeDocGenerator/README.md for more details.

Contributing

When adding or modifying code:

1. Add XML documentation comments to your code
2. Regenerate documentation using the tool
3. Commit both code and documentation changes together

This keeps documentation in sync with the code and makes reviews easier.
