Generating documentation from tests using files-to-prompt and LLM. I was experimenting with the wasmtime-py Python library today (for executing WebAssembly programs from inside CPython) and I found the existing API docs didn't quite show me what I wanted to know.
The project has a comprehensive test suite so I tried seeing if I could generate documentation using that:
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-py
files-to-prompt -e py wasmtime-py/tests -c | \
llm -m claude-3.5-sonnet -s \
'write detailed usage documentation including realistic examples'
More notes in my TIL. You can see the full Claude transcript here - I think this worked really well!
