Adding New Module Documentation
When adding documentation for a new module:
- Create a dedicated markdown file for the module (e.g.,
modulename.md) - If the module has specialized debugging tools, consider creating a separate tools document (e.g.,
modulename-tools.md) - Update this index with links to the new documentation
- Follow the existing documentation structure for consistency
