Manage multilingual docstrings and comments

Systematically manage multilingual docstrings/comments and maintain high-quality documentation.

Usage

bash
# Run with automatic language detection
"Please add docstrings to classes and functions without them, and update comments that don't meet standards"

# Run with specified language
/update-doc-string --lang python
"Please update docstrings in Python files to comply with PEP 257"

# Maintain documentation for specific directories
"Please add JSDoc to functions under src/components/"

Options

• --lang <language> : Documentation language (default: en)
• --style <style> : Specify documentation style (has language-specific defaults)
• --marker <true|false> : Whether to add Claude markers (default: true)

Basic Examples

bash
# 1. Analyze target files (programming language is auto-detected)
find . -type f \( -name "*.py" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.dart" -o -name "*.go" -o -name "*.rs" \) | grep -v test
"Please identify elements with insufficient docstrings (0 comment lines or fewer than 30 characters)"

# 2. Add documentation (uses English by default)
"Please add docstrings containing language-specific required elements to the identified elements"
# → Uses English for all documentation

# 3. Add documentation (explicitly specify English)
/update-doc-string --lang en
"Add docstrings with required elements to the identified elements"

# 4. Check markers
"Please confirm that all added/updated docstrings have Claude markers"

Execution Steps

1. Priority of Target Elements

1. 🔴 Highest Priority: Elements without docstrings/comments (0 comment lines)
2. 🟡 Next Priority: Elements not meeting standards (fewer than 30 characters or missing required elements)
3. 🟢 Verification Target: Existing comments without Claude markers

Target Elements (Common Across Languages):

• Class definitions
• Functions/methods
• Modules (Python, Go)
• Enums
• Interfaces (TypeScript, Go)

2. Language-Specific Documentation Rules

Python (PEP 257):

python
# English version (default)
def calculate_total(items: List[Item]) -> float:
    """Calculate the total amount for a list of items. (30-60 characters)

    Multiplies the price and quantity of each item and returns
    the total with tax. Returns 0.0 for empty lists. (50-200 characters)

    Args:
        items: List of items to calculate

    Returns:
        Total amount with tax

    """

# English version (--lang en)
def calculate_total(items: List[Item]) -> float:
    """Calculate the total amount for a list of items. (30-60 chars)

    Multiplies the price and quantity of each item and returns
    the total with tax. Returns 0.0 for empty lists. (50-200 chars)

    Args:
        items: List of items to calculate

    Returns:
        Total amount with tax

    Generated by Claude 🤖
    """

JavaScript/TypeScript (JSDoc):

javascript
/**
 * Component that displays a user profile. (30-60 characters)
 *
 * Displays avatar image, username, and status information,
 * and navigates to the profile detail screen when clicked. (50-200 characters)
 *
 * @param {Object} props - Component properties
 * @param {string} props.userId - User ID
 * @param {boolean} [props.showStatus=true] - Status display flag
 * @returns {JSX.Element} Rendered component
 *
 * @generated by Claude 🤖
 */
const UserProfile = ({ userId, showStatus = true }) => {

Go:

go
// CalculateTotal calculates the total amount for a list of items. (30-60 characters)
//
// Multiplies the price and quantity of each item and returns
// the total with tax. Returns 0.0 for empty slices. (50-200 characters)
//
// Generated by Claude 🤖
func CalculateTotal(items []Item) float64 {

Rust:

rust
/// Calculate the total amount for a list of items. (30-60 characters)
///
/// Multiplies the price and quantity of each item and returns
/// the total with tax. Returns 0.0 for empty vectors. (50-200 characters)
///
/// Generated by Claude 🤖
pub fn calculate_total(items: &[Item]) -> f64 {

Dart (DartDoc):

dart
/// Widget that displays a user profile. (30-60 characters)
///
/// Vertically arranges avatar image, username, and status information,
/// and navigates to the profile detail screen when tapped. (50-200 characters)
///
/// Generated by Claude 🤖
class UserProfileWidget extends StatelessWidget {

3. Existing Content Retention Rules

1. If existing comments meet standards: Keep as-is (do not add new ones)

• Standards: At least 30 characters and includes required elements (summary, details, marker)

1. If existing comments do not meet standards: Completely replace (no duplication)
2. If no existing comments: Add new comments

Important Information to Retain:

• URLs and links: See also:, @see, References: etc.
• TODO comments: TODO:, FIXME:, XXX: format
• Notes: Note:, Warning:, Important: etc.
• Examples: Example:, Usage:, # Examples etc.
• Existing parameter and return value descriptions

Language-Specific Settings

# Language-specific default settings
languages:
  python:
    style: "google"  # google, numpy, sphinx
    indent: 4
    quotes: '"""

Quality Checklist

• ✅ Character Count: Strictly adhere to 30-60 characters for summary, 50-200 for details
• ✅ Required Elements: Always include summary, detailed description, and Claude marker
• ✅ Completeness: Describe role, usage context, and notes
• ✅ Language Conventions: Comply with official style guides for each language
• ✅ Exceptions: Explain errors and exceptions (when applicable)
• ✅ Accuracy: Analyze implementation and only include fact-based descriptions

Notes

🔴 Strict Prohibitions:

• ❌ Code changes other than documentation comments
• ❌ Speculation about implementation details (only facts)
• ❌ Formats that violate language conventions
• ❌ Deletion or modification of existing type annotations
• ❌ Duplication with existing comments
• ❌ Comments below character count standards in test files
