--- name: api-docs description: Write and review XML API documentation for SkiaSharp following .NET guidelines. Use when user asks to document a class, add XML docs, write XML documentation, add triple-slash comments, review documentation quality, check docs for errors, fix doc issues, fill in missing docs, remove "To be added" placeholders, or mentions API documentation. --- # API Documentation Write and review XML API documentation for SkiaSharp. ## File Locations ``` docs/SkiaSharpAPI/ ├── SkiaSharp/ # Main namespace │ ├── SKCanvas.xml # One XML file per type │ ├── SKPaint.xml │ ├── SKImage.xml │ └── ... ├── HarfBuzzSharp/ # HarfBuzz namespace ├── SkiaSharp.Views.*/ # Platform-specific views └── index.xml # Extension methods (auto-synced, don't edit) ``` ## Writing Documentation 1. Find the type's XML file in `docs/SkiaSharpAPI//.xml` 2. Edit `

`, ``, ``, `` tags within `` sections 3. Follow patterns in [references/patterns.md](references/patterns.md) 4. **After editing a file, validate XML syntax** (see [XML Validation](#xml-validation) below) 5. Run `dotnet cake --target=docs-format-docs` to validate and format ## Reviewing Documentation 1. Search for issues using grep patterns below 2. Classify by severity using [references/checklist.md](references/checklist.md) 3. Fix issues following [references/patterns.md](references/patterns.md) 4. Run `dotnet cake --target=docs-format-docs` to validate ### Quick Issue Search ```bash # Find placeholders grep -r "To be added" docs/SkiaSharpAPI/ # Find empty tags (self-closing) grep -rE "<(summary|value|returns)\s*/>" docs/SkiaSharpAPI/ # Find empty tags (open/close with optional whitespace) grep -rE "<(summary|value|returns)>\s*` - happens when copy/pasting 2. **Mismatched tags**: `

...` - tag names must match 3. **Unescaped characters**: `<`, `>`, `&` must be `<`, `>`, `&` 4. **Missing closing tags**: `

text` without `

` ### Workflow 1. Make all edits to a file 2. Run `xmllint --noout ` to validate 3. If errors, fix them before proceeding 4. Move to next file
