## Description

VVDocumenter-Xcode is an IDE documentation workflow tool and automation utility for the Xcode environment. It serves as a documentation generator that automatically creates structured comment blocks for Swift source code by extracting parameters and return values.

The tool functions as a commenting assistant that reduces manual typing through the use of a custom trigger sequence. It identifies method signatures and metadata to inject standardized documentation headers directly into the editor.

The system covers static source analysis and template-based block generation to ensure a consistent structural format. It includes configuration options for adjusting trigger sequences, indentation styles, and the overall format of the generated documentation blocks.
