Parameters

Parse from command arguments:

• --check-only: Report compliance status without modifications (CI/CD mode)
• --fix: Apply fixes automatically without prompting
• --level <minimal|standard|strict>: Documentation enforcement level (default: standard)
• --type <typescript|javascript|python|rust>: Override language detection
• --generator <typedoc|sphinx|mkdocs|rustdoc>: Override documentation generator detection

Enforcement Levels:

• minimal: Syntax validation only (valid doc comments)
• standard: Public API documentation required (recommended)
• strict: All items documented, including private

Generator Auto-Detection:

Execution

Execute this documentation standards configuration check:

Step 1: Detect project language

Identify language(s) from file structure:

For multi-language projects, configure each detected language. Allow --type override to focus on one.

Step 2: Analyze current documentation state

For each detected language, check existing configuration:

TypeScript/JavaScript:

• tsdoc.json exists (TypeScript)
• Biome configured with organize imports
• TypeDoc or API Extractor configured for documentation generation

Python:

• pyproject.toml has [tool.ruff.lint.pydocstyle] section
• Convention specified (google, numpy, pep257)
• D rules enabled in ruff lint select

Rust:

• Cargo.toml has [lints.rust] section
• missing_docs lint configured
• [lints.rustdoc] section for rustdoc-specific lints

Step 3: Generate compliance report

Print a formatted compliance report:

Documentation Standards Compliance Report
=========================================
Project: [name]
Languages: [detected languages]
Enforcement Level: [minimal|standard|strict]

Linting Standards:
  TypeScript/JavaScript:
    tsdoc.json              [PASS | MISSING | N/A]
    TypeDoc configured      [PASS | MISSING | OUTDATED]
    API docs generated      [PASS | DISABLED]

  Python:
    ruff pydocstyle        [PASS | MISSING]
    convention             [google | not set]
    D rules enabled        [PASS | DISABLED]

  Rust:
    missing_docs lint      [PASS | DISABLED]
    rustdoc lints          [PASS | PARTIAL]

Documentation Generator:
  Generator type         [typedoc|mkdocs|sphinx|rustdoc]  [DETECTED | SUGGESTED]
  Config file            [config path]                     [EXISTS | MISSING]
  Build script           [command]                         [EXISTS | MISSING]
  Output directory       [docs/|site/|target/doc/]         [EXISTS | NOT BUILT]

Overall: [X issues found]

Next Steps:
  - Run `[build command]` to generate documentation locally
  - Run `/configure:github-pages` to set up deployment

If --check-only, stop here.

Step 4: Configure documentation standards (if --fix or user confirms)

Apply configuration based on detected language. Use templates from REFERENCE.md:

TypeScript Configuration

1. Create tsdoc.json with schema reference
2. Install TypeDoc: npm install --save-dev typedoc
3. Create typedoc.json with entry points and output directory

Python Configuration

1. Update pyproject.toml with [tool.ruff.lint.pydocstyle] section
2. Set convention to google (or numpy for scientific projects)
3. Configure level-specific rules (minimal: D1 only, standard: D with convention, strict: all D rules)

Rust Configuration

1. Update Cargo.toml with [lints.rust] section
2. Set missing_docs = "warn" (standard) or "deny" (strict)
3. Add [lints.rustdoc] section for broken link detection

Step 5: Configure documentation tests

Create tests to validate documentation compliance:

1. TypeScript/JavaScript: Add docs:check script running typedoc --emit none
2. Python: Add test file running ruff check --select D on source
3. Rust: Add cargo doc --no-deps and cargo clippy -- -W missing_docs to CI

Use test templates from REFERENCE.md.

Step 6: Set up documentation generator

Auto-detect or configure the documentation site generator:

1. Check for existing generator configs (use existing if found)
2. If --generator provided, use specified generator
3. Otherwise, match to detected project type
4. Create config file and add build scripts

Use generator templates from REFERENCE.md.

Step 7: Add pre-commit integration

If .pre-commit-config.yaml exists, add documentation hooks for the detected language. Use hook templates from REFERENCE.md.

Step 8: Update standards tracking

Update .project-standards.yaml:

standards_version: "2025.1"
project_type: "[detected]"
last_configured: "[timestamp]"
components:
  docs: "2025.1"
  docs_level: "[minimal|standard|strict]"
  docs_languages: ["typescript", "python", "rust"]

For detailed configuration templates, see REFERENCE.md.

Output

Provide:

1. Compliance report with per-language status
2. List of changes made (if --fix) or proposed (if interactive)
3. Instructions for running documentation tests
4. Next steps for improving coverage
