Done when

  • A copy-pasteable example above the fold that works unmodified
  • Every exported function documented with a real example, not a signature
  • A section on what this does not do and what to use instead
  • A changelog with at least one entry written for the person upgrading

Nobody marks this for you. It goes into your phase checkpoint, where a person does.

You should now be able to

  • Write documentation that a stranger can act on immediately
  • State the limitations before someone discovers them
