webassembly rust — automated documentation generation and maintenance using webassembly.
Webassembly Rust
Generate and maintain professional webassembly documentation that stays in sync with your code.
Overview
This skill automates webassembly rust to keep documentation accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date. It understands webassembly conventions and produces documentation that follows industry best practices.
Documentation debt is one of the biggest productivity killers in software teams. This skill tackles it by generating initial documentation from code, maintaining it through automated updates, and ensuring consistency across the entire project.
The output follows webassembly best practices and is optimized for both human readability and search engine discoverability. It handles edge cases like deprecated APIs, multi-version documentation, and cross-referenced content.
When to Use
Activate this skill when the user needs to:
Generate initial documentation for an undocumented codebase
Update existing docs after code changes
Set up a documentation site or system from scratch
Convert documentation between formats
Create API reference documentation from source code
Build onboarding guides for new team members
Core Capabilities
Auto-Generation
Scans source code to extract types, functions, classes, and their relationships. Generates structured documentation with descriptions, parameter tables, return types, and usage examples.
Template System
Provides customizable templates for different documentation types — API references, tutorials, how-to guides, and conceptual overviews. Templates follow the Diátaxis documentation framework.
Cross-Referencing
Automatically links related documentation pages, creates navigation structures, and maintains a consistent information architecture across the documentation site.
Version Management
Supports multi-version documentation, changelogs, and migration guides. Clearly marks deprecated features and provides upgrade paths.
Example Prompts
Users might ask:
"Generate API documentation for the src/api directory"
"Set up webassembly for our project with a getting-started guide"
"Create a migration guide from v2 to v3"
"Add JSDoc comments to all exported functions in the utils module"
"Build a searchable documentation site with webassembly"

Best Practices
Document the why, not just the what — Code shows what it does; documentation should explain why it exists and when to use it
Keep examples runnable — Every code example should be copy-pasteable and produce the expected output
Use consistent terminology — Create a glossary and stick to it — inconsistent naming confuses readers
Write for your audience — API references for developers, tutorials for beginners, architecture docs for architects
Automate freshness checks — Run CI checks that flag documentation out of sync with code changes
Common Pitfalls
⚠️ Generating docs once and never updating them — stale docs are worse than no docs
⚠️ Over-documenting obvious code — focus documentation effort on complex or surprising behavior
⚠️ Not including examples — abstract descriptions without concrete examples are rarely useful
Output Format
Generates complete documentation files in JavaScript format, with navigation, cross-references, and search indexes. Ready to deploy to static hosting or integrate into existing documentation sites.
