Frequently asked questions

What docstring formats are supported?

Supported formats include Google style, NumPy style, Sphinx/reStructuredText, Epytext, and others. Most tools can generate various formats; specify the format in the prompt or settings.

How do I create a README with AI?

Provide ChatGPT with project structure, key files, and a description of the project. The AI will generate a README containing a description, installation instructions, usage examples, and other sections. You can iteratively improve it.

What is the purpose of generating documentation automatically?

Automated documentation generation reduces manual effort, ensures consistency across projects, and makes code more accessible to developers and users.
