Overview
The work covers identifying the audience, reviewing the code, existing notes or running system, and turning that knowledge into structured documents such as setup guides, API references, deployment runbooks or architecture overviews. Existing documentation can be audited and rewritten rather than started from scratch. You receive the finished documents in an agreed format, such as Markdown files in your repository or pages ready for your internal wiki.
