Another open-source tool powered by @OpenAI #Codex: auto-docstring (github.com/scottleibrand/cod…) writes and adds Python (PEP 257) docstrings summarizing what each of your functions does, what arguments it takes, and what it returns. How/where would *you* use this kind of capability?

Maybe auto-documentation is even more valuable than writing code. It may expose bugs (as opposed to introducing them) and is quickly checked.

Definitely not better than codex-d
