You can automate adding shdoc annotations to bash scripts by applying file-level tags like @file, @brief, and @description, plus function-level tags such as @arg, @option, and @example to ensure consistent documentation.

The best way to review shell script documentation is to validate annotations against a repository style guide like references/shdoc-rules.md, ensuring shell scripts maintain parseable and consistent documentation across projects.

Yes, shdoc requires frontmatter with minimal tags like @file, @brief, and @description to properly parse shell scripts and generate consistent documentation for your repository.

Yes, you can use shdoc to document function arguments and options in shell scripts by applying function-level tags such as @arg, @option, and @example to clarify usage and improve maintainability.

Shell script documentation fails style validation when annotations do not conform to the rules defined in references/shdoc-rules.md, which enforces standards for consistent, parseable tags across projects.

A limitation of using shdoc for bash script documentation is that it strictly requires frontmatter tags like @file and @brief, meaning scripts lacking these minimal annotations will not pass the review validation.
