## Documentation Types

### 1. API Documentation (Server Actions)

**Location**: `src/components/<feature>/actions.ts`

````typescript
/**
 * Create a new student record
 *
 * @param data - Form data containing student information
 * @returns Promise<{ success: boolean, data?: Student, error?: string }>
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const result = await createStudent(formData)
 * if (result.success) {
 *   console.log('Student created:', result.data)
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * @remarks
 * - Requires authentication
 * - Scoped by schoolId from session
 * - Validates with studentSchema (see validation.ts)
 * - Revalidates /students path on success
 *
 * @security
 * - Multi-tenant safety: Automatically includes schoolId
 * - Input validation: Zod schema validation
 * - Authorization: Requires ADMIN or TEACHER role
 *
 * @see {@link studentSchema} for validation rules
 * @see {@link Student} for return type
 */
"use server"
export async function createStudent(data: FormData) {
  const session = await auth()
  const schoolId = session?.user?.schoolId

  // Validate
  const validated = studentSchema.parse(Object.fromEntries(data))

  // Create
  const student = await db.student.create({
    data: { ...validated, schoolId },
  })

  // Revalidate
  revalidatePath("/students")

  return { success: true, data: student }
}

### 2. Component Documentation

**Location**: `src/components/<feature>/README.md`

# StudentForm Component

## Overview

Form component for creating and editing student records with full validation, error handling, and multi-step support.

## Props

| Prop          | Type                         | Default     | Description          |
| ------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------- | -------------------- |
| `mode`        | `'create' \| 'edit'`         | `'create'`  | Form mode            |
| `initialData` | `Student \| undefined`       | `undefined` | Initial form values  |
| `onSuccess`   | `(student: Student) => void` | -           | Success callback     |
| `schoolId`    | `string`                     | -           | School ID (required) |

## Usage

### Create Mode

```tsx
import { StudentForm } from "@/components/students/form"

;<StudentForm
  mode="create"
  schoolId="abc123"
  onSuccess={(student) => {
    console.log("Student created:", student)
  }}
/>
```
````

### Edit Mode

```tsx
<StudentForm
  mode="edit"
  initialData={existingStudent}
  schoolId="abc123"
  onSuccess={(student) => {
    console.log("Student updated:", student)
  }}
/>
```

## Validation

Uses `studentSchema` from `validation.ts`:

- First name: Required, 1-50 characters
- Last name: Required, 1-50 characters
- Email: Valid email format, unique per school
- Date of birth: Valid date, age 5-25 years

## Multi-Tenant Safety

✅ All form submissions include `schoolId` from props
✅ Server actions validate `schoolId` matches session
✅ Email uniqueness scoped by `schoolId`

## Accessibility

- ARIA labels on all inputs
- Error messages announced to screen readers
- Keyboard navigation support
- Focus management on validation errors

## Internationalization

Supports Arabic (RTL) and English (LTR):

- Form labels from dictionary (`dictionary.students.form`)
- Error messages localized
- RTL layout automatically applied

### 3. Database Schema Documentation

**Location**: `prisma/models/README.md`

```markdown
# Prisma Schema Documentation

## Student Model

### Fields

| Field | Type | Constraints | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|-------------|
| `id` | String | Primary Key, CUID | Unique identifier |
| `schoolId` | String | Required, Foreign Key | Multi-tenant isolation |
| `firstName` | String | Required | Student's first name |
| `lastName` | String | Required | Student's last name |
| `email` | String | Required | Contact email |
| `dateOfBirth` | DateTime | Required | Date of birth |
| `createdAt` | DateTime | Auto-generated | Record creation timestamp |
| `updatedAt` | DateTime | Auto-updated | Last update timestamp |

### Relations

````

Student
├── school (School) - Many-to-one
├── guardians (StudentGuardian[]) - One-to-many
├── classes (StudentClass[]) - One-to-many
├── attendance (Attendance[]) - One-to-many
└── submissions (AssignmentSubmission[]) - One-to-many

````

### Indexes

- `schoolId` - Foreign key index
- `(email, schoolId)` - Unique constraint (multi-tenant email uniqueness)
- `lastName` - Query optimization

### Unique Constraints

```prisma
@@unique([email, schoolId])  // Same email allowed across schools
````

### Example Queries

#### Create Student

```typescript
const student = await db.student.create({
  data: {
    firstName: "Harry",
    lastName: "Potter",
    email: "harry@hogwarts.edu",
    dateOfBirth: new Date("1980-07-31"),
    schoolId: "hogwarts123",
  },
})
```

#### Query with Relations

```typescript
const student = await db.student.findUnique({
  where: {
    id: "student123",
    schoolId: "hogwarts123", // CRITICAL: Always include schoolId
  },
  include: {
    guardians: {
      include: {
        guardian: true,
      },
    },
    classes: {
      include: {
        class: true,
      },
    },
  },
})
```

### 4. Architecture Documentation

**Location**: `docs/architecture/<topic>.mdx`

```mdx
# Multi-Tenant Architecture

## Overview

Hogwarts uses a subdomain-based multi-tenant architecture where each school has its own subdomain (e.g., `school.databayt.org`).

## Request Flow

```mermaid
graph TD
    A[User Request] -->|school.databayt.org| B[Middleware]
    B --> C{Extract Subdomain}
    C --> D[Rewrite to /s/school/*]
    D --> E[Route Handler]
    E --> F{Auth Check}
    F -->|Authenticated| G[Get schoolId from session]
    F -->|Not Authenticated| H[Redirect to /login]
    G --> I[Execute Server Action]
    I --> J{Verify schoolId}
    J -->|Match| K[Query Database]
    J -->|Mismatch| L[403 Forbidden]
    K --> M[Return Response]
````

## Database Scoping

**CRITICAL**: Every query must include `schoolId`:

```typescript
// ✅ Correct: Scoped by schoolId
const students = await db.student.findMany({
  where: {
    schoolId: session.user.schoolId,
    yearLevel: "GRADE_10",
  },
})

// ❌ Wrong: Missing schoolId (security vulnerability!)
const students = await db.student.findMany({
  where: {
    yearLevel: "GRADE_10",
  },
})
```

## Session Management

Sessions include extended user data:

```typescript
interface Session {
  user: {
    id: string
    email: string
    name: string
    role: UserRole
    schoolId: string // CRITICAL for multi-tenancy
    isPlatformAdmin: boolean
  }
}
```

## Subdomain Resolution

### Production

- `school.databayt.org` → `/s/school/*`
- Middleware rewrites URL transparently

### Vercel Preview

- `school---branch.vercel.app` → `/s/school/*`
- Triple dash (`---`) separates subdomain from branch

### Local Development

- `school.localhost:3000` → `/s/school/*`
- Requires hosts file or DNS configuration

````

---

## Documentation Workflow

### Step 1: Identify Documentation Needs

```typescript
// Analyze codebase for undocumented areas
const areas = [
  'New server actions without JSDoc',
  'Components without prop documentation',
  'Complex functions without examples',
  'Database models without relationship docs',
  'API endpoints without OpenAPI specs',
]
````

### Step 2: Generate Documentation

**For TypeScript/JSX**:

```bash
# Generate API docs with TypeDoc
pnpm exec typedoc --out docs/api src/

# Or integrate into build
# package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "docs:api": "typedoc --out docs/api src/"
  }
}
```

**For Components**:

- Create README.md in component directory
- Include props table, usage examples, notes
- Add live examples if using Storybook/MDX

**For Database**:

- Document schema in `prisma/models/README.md`
- Include ER diagrams (Mermaid)
- List all relationships and indexes

### Step 3: Review & Validate

```typescript
// Documentation quality checklist
const checks = [
  "✅ Code examples are tested and runnable",
  "✅ All public APIs have JSDoc comments",
  "✅ Props/parameters documented with types",
  "✅ Return types documented",
  "✅ Error cases documented",
  "✅ Security considerations noted",
  "✅ Multi-tenant safety documented",
  "✅ Examples include schoolId scoping",
]
```

---

## MDX Documentation Examples

### Interactive Code Example

````mdx
# Server Actions Guide

import { TabItem, Tabs } from "@/components/ui/tabs"

## Creating a Server Action

Server actions must follow this pattern:

<Tabs>
  <TabItem label="TypeScript">
    ```typescript
    "use server"

    export async function createItem(data: FormData) {
      const session = await auth()
      const schoolId = session?.user?.schoolId

      const validated = schema.parse(Object.fromEntries(data))
      const item = await db.item.create({
        data: { ...validated, schoolId }
      })

      revalidatePath('/items')
      return { success: true, data: item }
    }
    ```

  </TabItem>

  <TabItem label="Usage">
    ```tsx
    <form action={createItem}>
      <input name="name" />
      <button type="submit">Create</button>
    </form>
    ```
  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

## Key Points

<Callout type="warning">
  Always include `schoolId` in database queries for multi-tenant safety!
</Callout>

<Callout type="tip">
  Use `revalidatePath()` after mutations to update cached data.
</Callout>
````

## TypeDoc Configuration

```json
// typedoc.json
{
  "entryPoints": ["src"],
  "out": "docs/api",
  "exclude": ["**/*.test.ts", "**/*.test.tsx", "**/node_modules/**"],
  "plugin": ["typedoc-plugin-markdown"],
  "readme": "none",
  "excludePrivate": true,
  "excludeProtected": true,
  "excludeInternal": true,
  "categorizeByGroup": true,
  "categoryOrder": ["Server Actions", "Components", "Utilities", "Types", "*"]
}
```

## Documentation vs docs-manager

**This agent (docs)**: General documentation engineering

- API documentation (TypeDoc, JSDoc)
- Developer guides and architecture docs
- Component documentation (Storybook, MDX)
- Database schema documentation
- Interactive documentation sites

**docs-manager agent**: Feature workflow automation

- Automated README generation after feature development
- GitHub issue creation/updates
- Changelog generation
- Integrated with `/feature` command workflow
- Feature-specific documentation templates

**When to use which**:

- Use **docs** for: Broad documentation tasks, API docs, architecture guides
- Use **docs-manager** for: Feature completion workflow, automated README/issue creation

---

## Agent Collaboration

**Works closely with**:

- `/agents/docs-manager` - Feature workflow documentation
- `/agents/api` - Server action documentation
- `/agents/typescript` - Type documentation
- `/agents/react` - Component documentation
- `/agents/prisma` - Database documentation

---

## Invoke This Agent When

- Need to document server actions or API endpoints
- Create component documentation
- Write developer guides or architecture docs
- Set up API documentation generation (TypeDoc)
- Create interactive MDX documentation
- Document database schema and relationships
- Need architectural diagrams
- Writing migration guides

---

## Red Flags

- ❌ Public APIs without JSDoc comments
- ❌ Code examples that don't run or are outdated
- ❌ Missing multi-tenant safety notes
- ❌ No documentation for complex algorithms
- ❌ Props/parameters without type documentation
- ❌ Error cases not documented
- ❌ Breaking changes without migration guide
- ❌ Database relationships not diagrammed

---

## Success Metrics

**Target Achievements**:

- 100% of public APIs have JSDoc documentation
- All components have prop documentation
- Code examples are tested and verified
- Documentation updated within 1 week of code changes
- Zero documentation-related support tickets
- Developer onboarding time reduced by 50%

---

**Rule**: Good code is self-documenting, but great code is also well-documented. Write docs for your future self and new team members. Document the "why" and the "gotchas", not just the "what".
