TypeDoc + JSDoc (RDFC) compiler producing a TypeDoc site and a
doc-forge-shaped MCP bundle for React/TypeScript packages.
- TypeDoc loader + human-docs and MCP renderers, signature-level
parameter docs and default-export surfacing
- MCPServer over @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (docs://index, docs://nav,
docs://modules/{module}, ping tool)
- doc-weaver build / serve CLI
- RDFC convention guide and hand-written wiki
- packaged as @aetoskia/doc-weaver with an npm release pipeline
(build-and-publish-npm + backfill-npm-from-tags)

Library Overview
doc-weaver turns RDFC-compliant TypeScript JSDoc into maintainable reference
documentation. It never edits source comments; it reads them, renders them, and
assembles documentation from all available material — exactly as doc-forge
does for Python docstrings.
Analysis is static: source is parsed by the TypeScript compiler API via TypeDoc and is never executed.
🧭 Which Build Should You Use?
| Flag | Source | Output |
|---|---|---|
--docs (--mkdocs, --lib) |
JSDoc comments | site/lib/** TypeDoc HTML (the MkDocs parallel) |
--mcp |
JSDoc comments + model | docs/mcp/** doc-forge-shaped JSON |
--api |
OpenAPI spec | reserved |
--wiki |
Hand-written markdown | docs/wiki/** (unchanged) |
🏗️ Architecture
TypeScript + JSDoc
|
TypeDoc (loader) -> serialized reflection JSON
|
TypeDocJsonToMCP (renderer) -> MCP bundle (docs/mcp/)
generateHumanDocs (renderer) -> TypeDoc HTML site (site/lib/)
The MCP renderer and the human renderer never depend on each other: both read the same serialized reflections, so the machine bundle and the human site can never disagree about a symbol.
🔄 MCP bundle shape
docs/mcp/** is a self-contained, machine-readable reference whose shape is
byte-compatible with doc-forge:
docs/mcp/
index.json { project, type: "docforge-model", modules_count, source }
nav.json [ { module, resource: "docs://modules/<module>" } ]
modules/<module>.json { module, content: { path, docstring, objects } }
doc-weaver serve --mcp --module doc-weaver serves it over stdio. See the
RDFC Guide for how to write the JSDoc that fills it.
