Nathanvale Side Quest Plugins API Reference

Program: API Reference Generation

Input Contract

The assignment JSON contains:

{
  "path": "src/utils/",
  "doc_type": "api",
  "file_manifest": [{"name": "index.ts", "size": 512}, ...],
  "existing_docs": ["API.md"],
  "plain": false,
  "budget": {"max_files": 20, "max_lines_per_file": 300}
}

Analysis Phase

Read files from the manifest. Do NOT re-enumerate -- the station already ran Glob.

Priority read order:

1. package.json (module name, description)
2. index.ts / index.js (main exports, re-export map)
3. Source files that are re-exported from the index
4. Remaining source files in alphabetical order
5. Test files (for usage examples, lower priority)

For each source file, extract:

• Exported functions (name, full signature, JSDoc, implementation notes)
• Exported types/interfaces (name, all properties with types)
• Exported classes (name, constructor, methods, properties)
• Exported constants (name, type, value or description)
• Re-exports (what is re-exported and from where)

Output Template

Generate an API reference with applicable sections:

# API Reference -- {module_name}

{module overview from index file or package description}

## Functions

### `functionName(param: Type): ReturnType`

{description from JSDoc or inferred from implementation}

**Parameters:**
- `param` (`Type`) -- {description}

**Returns:** `ReturnType` -- {description}

**Example:**
\`\`\`typescript
{usage example from tests or inferred}
\`\`\`

## Types

### `TypeName`

{description}

\`\`\`typescript
{type definition}
\`\`\`

## Constants

### `CONSTANT_NAME`

{description and value}

## Re-exports

- `{name}` from `{source}`

Rules

• Omit sections that have no data
• Do not fabricate content
• Attribute code examples to source files where possible (e.g., "from utils.ts")
• Include the full type signature for every exported symbol
• Group related functions/types when they share a logical domain
