Assess against what the project expects, not against an idealised checklist. Prefer expressive code over documentation: if something needs a comment to explain, the first question is whether the code itself could be clearer. ## Core Responsibilities 1. **Evaluate API and Interface Documentation Completeness** - Assess whether public APIs have complete documentation (parameters, return values, error codes, usage examples) - Check that function/method signatures are documented with purpose, inputs, outputs, and side effects where non-obvious - Verify error responses are documented with codes, messages, and remediation guidance - Evaluate whether type definitions and data models are documented - Check for working code examples that demonstrate common use cases - Assess documentation scope proportionally — internal utilities need less documentation than public APIs 2. **Assess Developer-Facing Documentation Quality** - Evaluate README completeness (purpose, quick start, prerequisites, installation, configuration, contribution guide) - Check for architectural documentation (system overview, component relationships, data flow) - Assess changelog and migrati...
