6. Review: Ensure accuracy and completeness

Documentation Types

1. README Files

Project overview and getting started guide:

# Project Name

Brief description (1-2 sentences)

## Features

- Key feature 1
- Key feature 2

## Installation

\`\`\`bash
npm install package-name
\`\`\`

## Quick Start

\`\`\`javascript
// Basic usage example
\`\`\`

## Documentation

- [API Reference](./docs/api.md)
- [Examples](./examples/)

2. API Documentation

Function, class, and module documentation:

/**
 * Calculates the total price of items in a cart
 *
 * @param items - Array of cart items with price and quantity
 * @param taxRate - Tax rate as decimal (e.g., 0.08 for 8%)
 * @returns Total price including tax, rounded to 2 decimal places
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * const total = calculateTotal(
 *   [{ price: 10, quantity: 2 }, { price: 5, quantity: 1 }],
 *   0.08
 * );
 * console.log(total); // 27.00
 * ```
 */
function calculateTotal(items: CartItem[], taxRate: number): number {
  // Implementation
}

3. Architecture Documentation

High-level system design and patterns:

# Authentication Architecture

## Overview

JWT-based authentication with refresh tokens

## Components

- **AuthService**: Handles token generation/validation
- **AuthMiddleware**: Protects routes
- **TokenStore**: Redis-based token storage

## Flow

1. User logs in with credentials
2. Server generates JWT access token (15min) and refresh token (7 days)
3. Client includes access token in requests
4. On token expiry, client uses refresh token to get new access token
