# Elixir Documentation Review

## Quick Reference

| Issue Type | Reference |
|------------|-----------|
| @moduledoc, @doc quality, anti-patterns | [references/doc-quality.md](references/doc-quality.md) |
| @spec, @type, @typedoc coverage | [references/spec-coverage.md](references/spec-coverage.md) |

## Review Checklist

### Module Documentation
- [ ] All public modules have @moduledoc
- [ ] First-line summary is concise (one line, used by tools as summary)
- [ ] @moduledoc includes ## Examples where appropriate
- [ ] @moduledoc false only on internal/implementation modules

### Function Documentation
- [ ] All public functions have @doc
- [ ] All public functions have @spec
- [ ] @doc describes return values clearly
- [ ] Multi-clause functions documented before first clause
- [ ] Function head declared when arg names need clarification

### Doctests
- [ ] Doctests present for pure, deterministic functions
- [ ] No doctests for side-effectful operations (DB, HTTP, etc.)
- [ ] Doctests actually run (module included in test file)

### Cross-References
- [ ] Module references use backtick auto-linking (`MyModule`)
- [ ] Function refs use proper arity format (`function/2`)
- [ ] Type refs use t: prefix (`t:typename/0`)
- [ ] No plain-text references where auto-links are possible

### Metadata
- [ ] @since annotations on new public API additions
- [ ] @deprecated with migration guidance where appropriate

## Valid Patterns (Do NOT Flag)

- **@doc false on callback implementations** - Documented at behaviour level
- **@doc false on protocol implementations** - Protocol docs cover the intent
- **Missing @spec on private functions** - @spec optional for internals
- **Short @moduledoc without ## Examples on simple utility modules** - Not every module needs examples
- **Using @impl true without separate @doc** - Inherits documentation from behaviour

## Context-Sensitive Rules

| Issue | Flag ONLY IF |
|-------|--------------|
| Missing @moduledoc | Module is public AND not a protocol impl |
| Missing @spec | Function is public AND exported |
| Missing doctests | Function is pure AND deterministic |
| Generic @doc | Doc restates function name without adding value |

## When to Load References

- Reviewing @moduledoc or @doc quality, seeing anti-patterns -> doc-quality.md
- Reviewing @spec, @type, or @typedoc coverage -> spec-coverage.md

## Before Submitting Findings

Load and follow [review-verification-protocol](../review-verification-protocol/SKILL.md) before reporting any issue.
