# Overview
`docforge` turns GSDFC-compliant Python docstrings into maintainable reference
documentation. It never edits source docstrings; it reads them, renders them,
and assembles documentation sites from all available material.
## What it generates
| Kind | Source | Output |
|-----------|----------------------------|---------------------------------|
| `lib` | GSDFC docstrings | `docs/lib/**` rendered markdown |
| `api` | OpenAPI JSON spec | `docs/api/**` rendered markdown |
| `wiki` | Hand-written markdown | `docs/wiki/**` (unchanged) |
| `mcp` | GSDFC docstrings + renderers | `docs/mcp/**` structured JSON |
## Per-kind MkDocs builds
Each enabled site kind produces its own MkDocs configuration and build:
1. `--mkdocs` (lib) writes `docs/mkdocs.lib.yml` and builds `site/lib/`.
2. `--api` writes `docs/mkdocs.api.yml` and builds `site/api/`.
3. `--wiki` writes `docs/mkdocs.wiki.yml` and builds `site/wiki/`.
Every site is self-contained (own theme assets and search index) with
navigation derived or scoped to that kind. Hand-written wiki content is never
overwritten or regenerated — only its navigation is derived automatically.
## MCP bundle
`docs/mcp/**` is a self-contained, machine-readable reference generated from
docforge's own GSDFC docstrings. `doc-forge serve --mcp --module docforge`
serves it over MCP. See the [MCP Guide](05_development/04_mcp_guide.md).
