Documenting Is Fun Now
Documentation is now even less work, and it can be kept up to date with every new change.
One problem with any project is recording what happened. Why was this decision made? What is the program supposed to do? That's a weird edge case!
One great addition to my workflows with AI is having the agent write up a summary. I still don't have a system in place, but at least more complicated features now have actual context in writing. I've found having the feature summarized and put in a git commit message is a good start. But Opus started writing down the changes in markdown in a docs folder, and I've found this incredible. Now, once we've completed a feature together, I'll have it summarize and document the changes. It's especially good about revisiting previous changes, and updating those docs.
I'm in the middle of writing a documentation site for the LNG CMS, and already having some gnarly parts of the API clearly described is giving me a great place to start.
