Wrestling AI for Docstrings: From Generic to Gold for My Python Utils

Description and use

<p>I've got this repository of Python utility functions. You know the type: small, often-used snippets, written quickly over months, mostly undocumented. I know, I know. "Future me" was supposed to do it. Well, "future me" is now "present me," and present me just wants to be able to remember what process_complex_csv_data(filepath, schema_config, output_dir) actually <em>does</em> without diving into its guts every time.</p> <p>Docstrings. Glorious, helpful docstrings. I dread writing them. It feels like busywork. So, naturally, my mind drifted to our new AI overlords. Surely, a large language
