📅 2025-04-28 — Session: Developed Documentation Strategy for Terra System
🕒 00:55–01:10
🏷️ Labels: Documentation, Terra, Pdoc, API, Automation
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to develop a comprehensive documentation strategy for the Terra system, focusing on both core API components and other system artifacts.
Key Activities
- Documentation Strategy: Established a dual approach, recommending autodocs for core API components while advocating for handcrafted documentation for artifacts and living systems.
- Autodocs Plan: Created a structured plan to generate API documentation for the
core/module using pdoc, including installation, folder creation, documentation generation, and local preview steps. - pdoc Command Update: Updated the command usage for the newer version of
pdoc, which no longer requires the--htmlflag. - Name Collision Resolution: Addressed a name collision issue in pdoc documentation generation by specifying the local folder path.
- Submodule Documentation Automation: Outlined methods to document all submodules within a top-level Python package using
pdoc. - FastAPI Autodocumentation Troubleshooting: Provided solutions for common issues with pdoc in FastAPI projects, including dependency management.
Achievements
- Developed a clear and actionable documentation strategy for the Terra system.
- Updated and streamlined the process for generating API documentation using pdoc.
Pending Tasks
- Implement the autodocs generation plan for the
core/module. - Begin crafting the handcrafted documentation for Terra system artifacts.
