Generate comprehensive documentation from code including API docs, architecture overview, and getting started guide.

Prompt

Generate documentation for this codebase. Create:
1. Getting Started guide:
   - Prerequisites (runtime, tools, env vars)
   - Installation steps (clone, install, configure)
   - Running locally (dev server, tests, build)
   - Common issues and solutions

2. Architecture overview:
   - Directory structure with purpose of each folder
   - Data flow diagram (text-based)
   - Key design decisions and trade-offs
   - External service integrations

3. API documentation (for each endpoint):
   - Method, path, description
   - Request parameters and body schema
   - Response schema with examples
   - Error codes and meanings
   - Authentication requirements

4. Code conventions:
   - Naming patterns used in this codebase
   - File organization rules
   - Import ordering
   - Error handling patterns

Read the actual code to generate accurate docs. Don't guess or hallucinate.

How to Use

Run on your project root. Cursor reads the codebase structure and generates accurate documentation. Review for accuracy — AI docs need human verification.
