Add documentation comments to one public module
A public module whose functions explain nothing, given comments that say why rather than what.
The ticket
Add documentation comments to the public surface of one module.
Acceptance criteria
- Every exported symbol is documented
- Comments explain intent and constraints rather than restating the signature
- Non-obvious parameters and return values are described
- The doc build passes with no missing-documentation warnings
What lands as proof
A clean doc build, plus comments that a reviewer confirms add information the signature does not.
Why teams defer it
- Comments that restate the signature pass review and help nobody, so the bar is higher than it looks.
- The person best placed to write them has the least need for them.
Questions
- What does the agent actually change?
- The ticket is scoped to one outcome: add documentation comments to the public surface of one module. Work that serves that outcome is in scope, and anything outside it is left for a separate ticket, so the pull request stays reviewable.
- How do I know the work is done?
- The pull request carries the evidence, not only the diff. Here that means doc build passes with no missing-documentation warnings, so a reviewer can confirm the result without reproducing the work locally.
- How much oversight does this need?
- None is required before the run starts. Every claim this ticket makes can be checked by machine, so the agent works straight through and a person reviews the finished pull request like any other.
