 /**
- * This module provides utility functions and type class instances for working with the `number` type in TypeScript.
- * It includes functions for basic arithmetic operations.
+ * Operations for working with TypeScript `number` values. Use this module for
+ * arithmetic, safe parsing and division, comparisons, range checks, clamping,
+ * rounding, and reducers for numeric aggregation.
+ *
+ * **Mental model**
+ *
+ * Numbers remain plain JavaScript numbers, including `NaN`, `Infinity`, and
+ * floating-point behavior. The module adds named operations around that runtime
+ * model: arithmetic such as {@link sum}, {@link multiply}, {@link subtract},
+ * and {@link remainder}; safety wrappers such as {@link parse} and
+ * {@link divide}; range helpers such as {@link between} and {@link clamp}; and
+ * instances such as {@link Order} and {@link Equivalence}.
+ *
+ * **Common tasks**
+ *
+ * - Coerce, parse, or narrow input: {@link Number}, {@link parse},
+ *   {@link isNumber}
+ * - Do arithmetic: {@link sum}, {@link multiply}, {@link subtract},
+ *   {@link divide}, {@link divideUnsafe}, {@link remainder}, {@link round}
+ * - Work with counters and powers: {@link increment}, {@link decrement},
+ *   {@link nextPow2}
+ * - Compare and bound values: {@link isLessThan}, {@link isGreaterThan},
+ *   {@link between}, {@link clamp}, {@link min}, {@link max}, {@link sign}
+ * - Aggregate iterables or reducer inputs: {@link sumAll}, {@link multiplyAll},
+ *   {@link ReducerSum}, {@link ReducerMultiply}, {@link ReducerMax},
+ *   {@link ReducerMin}
+ *
+ * **Gotchas**
+ *
+ * - {@link Number} is the native JavaScript constructor. For example,
+ *   `Number.Number("")` returns `0`; {@link parse} returns `Option.none()` for
+ *   blank strings and invalid numeric text.
+ * - {@link divide} returns `Option.none()` only when the divisor is `0`.
+ *   Other JavaScript number results, including `NaN`, still follow normal
+ *   number semantics.
+ * - {@link Equivalence} treats `NaN` as equivalent to `NaN`, unlike `===`.
+ * - Reducers have identity values: {@link ReducerSum} starts at `0`,
+ *   {@link ReducerMultiply} starts at `1`, {@link ReducerMax} starts at
+ *   `-Infinity`, and {@link ReducerMin} starts at `Infinity`.
+ *
+ * **Quickstart**
+ *
+ * **Example** (Parsing and bounding a number)
+ *
+ * ```ts
+ * import { Number } from "effect"
+ *
+ * const parsed = Number.parse("42")
+ * console.log(parsed) // Option.some(42)
+ *
+ * const bounded = Number.clamp(120, { minimum: 0, maximum: 100 })
+ * console.log(bounded) // 100
+ *
+ * const total = Number.sumAll([1, 2, 3])
+ * console.log(total) // 6
+ * ```
