Usage Instructions

To use docscribe.nvim, place the cursor inside or on a function and execute the command:

:DocscribeGenerate

The plugin will then detect the function, remove any existing documentation, and generate a new, appropriately formatted docstring.

Customize the plugin behavior with various configuration options, including LLM settings and custom prompt templates for documentation formatting. Templates must include placeholders for function code, ensuring they are replaced correctly during generation.

Future Development

Exciting features are planned for subsequent releases, including support for additional programming languages, integration with more LLM providers (such as OpenAI and Anthropic), customizable documentation styles, and batch documentation generation capabilities.

docscribe.nvim simplifies the documentation process in Neovim, making it easier to create clear and effective function documentation with the power of LLMs.
