Document

Generate documentation for newly implemented features.

Usage

/phx:document .claude/plans/magic-link-auth/plan.md
/phx:document magic link authentication
/phx:document  # Auto-detect from recent plan

Iron Laws

1. Never remove existing documentation — Existing docs may reflect design intent that isn't obvious from code alone; update rather than replace
2. @moduledoc on every public module — Undocumented modules accumulate quickly and create onboarding friction for new team members
3. ADRs capture the "why", not the "what" — Code shows what was built; ADRs explain why this approach was chosen over alternatives
4. Match @doc to function's public API — Document parameters, return values, and edge cases; callers shouldn't need to read the implementation

What Gets Documented

Output	Description
@moduledoc	For new modules missing documentation
@doc	For public functions without docs
README section	For user-facing features
ADR	For significant architectural decisions

Workflow

1. Identify new modules from recent commits or plan file
2. Check documentation coverage (@moduledoc, @doc)
3. Generate missing docs using templates
4. Add README section if user-facing feature
5. Create ADR if architectural decision was made
6. Write report to .claude/plans/{slug}/reviews/{feature}-docs.md

When to Generate ADRs

Trigger	Create ADR
New external dependency	Yes
New database table	Maybe (if schema non-obvious)
New OTP process	Yes (explain why process needed)
New context	Maybe (if boundaries non-obvious)
New auth mechanism	Yes
Performance optimization	Yes

Integration with Workflow

/phx:plan → /phx:work → /phx:review

/phx:document  ← YOU ARE HERE (optional, suggested after review passes)
