This is an interesting statement!
Something I like to do is get Gemini Deepresearch to write a single file manual for any uncommon dependency and include that in my docs/ directory. Helps a bunch.
I also ask it to write specialized guides on narrow topics (e.g., testing async SQLAlchemy using pytest-async and pytest-postgresql).
Packages have communities though.
