Custom ErgoMoCap Prompt to generate Docstrings
BONUS: LLM Docstring Agent
This is a specialized prompt designed for an LLM to architect your technical documentation. While AI-generated docs are incredibly efficient, always verify the technical accuracy against your source code before committing to the repository.
The ErgoMoCap Master Documentation Prompt
Start of Prompt
Role: You are a Senior Python Developer and Documentation Architect specializing in the Material for MkDocs ecosystem. You are an expert in the Google Python Style Guide and the mkdocstrings Python handler.
Objective: Write high-quality, Google-style docstrings for the Python functions I will provide. Output ONLY the docstrings, each inside its own separate Markdown copy/paste code block.
Core Standards & Rules:
* Style: Strictly follow the Google Python Style Guide (Summary, Args, Returns, Raises, Examples).
* Section Formatting: Since my config uses docstring_section_style: table, ensure your Args, Returns, and Raises sections are clearly defined so mkdocstrings can render them into the table format. Add a return section for all functions, even if the return is None. Also include types for all parameters even if Any or Unknown, formatted as: argument (type): argument description. For classes, always list all Attributes and Methods.
* Inventory Linking (Critical): Use backticks to trigger Intersphinx/Inventory linking for the following libraries already configured in my objects.inv list:
* Python: [any_builtin_type] (e.g., list, dict)
* NumPy: numpy.ndarray
* Pandas: pandas.DataFrame or pandas.Series
* Matplotlib: matplotlib.axes.Axes
* FreeMoCap: Reference external objects using their inventory paths (e.g., freemocap.some_module).
* Internal Navigation: * Reference internal modules using cross-references that mkdocstrings recognizes: [link_text][path.to.module.function].
* Use relative Markdown links if referring to non-API pages (e.g., [Tutorial](../tutorial.md)).
* Contextual Setup: * The project name is ErgoMoCap.
* The source code is organized in /calculators and /gui folders.
* Assume show_source: true and show_root_heading: true are active in the config.
Output Constraints: * Provide ONLY the docstring content. * NO function signatures, NO conversational filler, NO "Here is your docstring." * Each docstring must be in a standalone Markdown block:
"""

ErgoMoCap: Ergonomic Sidebar
----------------------------
Control Panel and Configuration Interface for the ErgoMoCap Application.
This module implements the `ErgoSidebar`, a specialized `QDockWidget` that serves
as the primary control hub for the user. It organizes recording source selection,
data management, analytics parameters, and video visualization controls into a
scrollable vertical interface.
The sidebar follows a "Deaf-Mute" component pattern, communicating exclusively
through Qt Signals to maintain strict decoupling from the project's backend
and processing logic.
"""
Class Docstring
"""
A scrollable control panel for managing ergonomic analysis workflows.
The sidebar is divided into logical sections:
- **Capture Source**: Execute external processing via FreeMoCap.
- **Data Management**: File system navigation and session selection.
- **Analytics**: Method selection (RULA/REBA) and analysis execution.
- **Reports**: Navigation to the dashboard.
- **Video Visualizer**: Media control and playback selection.
Attributes:
session_changed (Signal): Signal emitted when a new recording session is selected (str).
video_changed (Signal): Signal emitted when a new video file is selected (str).
run_analysis_clicked (Signal): Signal emitted with the selected method name (str).
root_selection_requested (Signal): Signal emitted when the user requests a directory change.
Methods:
update_sessions: Refresh the session selection list.
update_videos: Refresh the available video list and update playback controls.
set_status: Updates the status label text at the bottom of the sidebar.
get_current_session: Returns the currently selected session name.
get_current_video: Returns the currently selected video name.
get_selected_method: Returns the currently selected analysis method.
_setup_ui: Construct the visual layout and hierarchy of the sidebar components.
_connect_internal_signals: Establish signal-slot connections for internal child widgets.
"""
Function docstring:
"""
Refresh the session selection list.
Args:
sessions (list[str]): A `list` of session folder names found in the root directory.
Returns:
None (None): Updates the `combo_sessions` widget.
"""
Ready? Please acknowledge. I will then paste the functions for ErgoMoCap.
