+# SolarWindPy Documentation System
+
+## Overview
+
+SolarWindPy uses an enhanced Sphinx documentation system with physics-aware templates to generate comprehensive API documentation. This system ensures persistent, high-quality documentation that survives rebuilds and integrates seamlessly with CI/CD workflows.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Documentation Pipeline
+```
+Source Code → sphinx-apidoc → Template Processing → Post-Processing → HTML Generation
+     ↓             ↓               ↓                   ↓               ↓
+Python Classes  RST Generation  Physics Enhancement  Validation    Web Documentation
+```
+
+### Key Components
+
+1. **Template System** (`docs/source/_templates/autosummary/`)
+   - `class.rst`: Enhanced class documentation with physics sections
+   - `module.rst`: Module documentation with scientific context
+   - `function.rst`: Function documentation with mathematical details
+
+2. **Build System** (`docs/Makefile`)
+   - `make html`: Standard HTML build
+   - `make api-enhanced`: Enhanced API generation with validation
+   - `make validate-all`: Comprehensive validation suite
+
+3. **Post-Processing** (`docs/add_no_index.py`)
+   - Enhanced multi-function processor
+   - Physics content validation
+   - Cross-reference fixing
+   - Performance monitoring
+
+4. **Validation Framework**
+   - Template syntax validation
+   - Physics content accuracy checking
+   - Build environment testing
+   - Performance benchmarking
+
+## Template System Usage
+
+### Making Persistent Documentation Changes
+
+**❌ NEVER DO THIS** (changes will be lost):
+```bash
+# DON'T edit generated files directly
+vim docs/source/api/solarwindpy.core.plasma.rst  # This will be overwritten!
+```
+
+**✅ CORRECT APPROACH** (changes persist):
+```bash
+# Edit templates instead
+vim docs/source/_templates/autosummary/class.rst
+make clean && make html  # Rebuild to see changes
+```
+
+### Template Modification Guidelines
+
+#### Class Template Customization
+
+**File**: `docs/source/_templates/autosummary/class.rst`
+
+**Common Modifications**:
+
+1. **Add Physics Section**:
+```rst
+{% if "YourPhysicsClass" in objname %}
+.. rubric:: Your Custom Physics Section
+
+Custom physics documentation for {{ objname }}.
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+2. **Modify Unit Documentation**:
+```rst
+.. rubric:: Units and Dimensions
+
+This class follows SI units with these conventions:
+* **Your Quantity**: Your Unit (symbol)
+```
+
+3. **Add Mathematical Content**:
+```rst
+.. rubric:: Mathematical Relationships
+
+Key equation for {{ objname }}:
+
+.. math::
+   
+   your_equation = mathematical_formula
+```
+
+#### Module Template Customization
+
+**File**: `docs/source/_templates/autosummary/module.rst`
+
+**Adding Scientific Context**:
+```rst
+{% if "your_module" in fullname %}
+.. note::
+   This module implements your specific physics domain.
+
+.. rubric:: Physics Background
+
+Your domain-specific physics explanation.
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+### Validation and Testing
+
+#### Pre-Modification Testing
+```bash
+# Always validate before changes
+cd docs
+python validate_templates.py
+
+# Test current build
+make validate-all
+```
+
+#### Post-Modification Validation
+```bash
+# Test template changes
+python validate_templates.py
+
+# Full rebuild and validation
+make clean
+make api-enhanced
+make html
+
+# Run comprehensive tests
+python run_all_tests.py
+```
+
+### Common Issues and Solutions
+
+#### Template Syntax Errors
+**Problem**: Jinja2 template syntax errors
+**Solution**: Use validation script before committing
+```bash
+python validate_templates.py  # Catches syntax issues
+```
+
+**Example Fix**:
+```rst
+# Wrong (missing endif)
+{% if condition %}
+Some content
+
+# Correct
+{% if condition %}
+Some content
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+#### Missing Physics Sections
+**Problem**: Physics classes don't show enhanced sections
+**Solution**: Check conditional logic in templates
+```rst
+# Make sure condition matches your class names
+{% if "Plasma" in objname or "Ion" in objname %}
+```
+
+#### Build Performance Issues
+**Problem**: Slow documentation builds
+**Solution**: Use performance monitoring
+```bash
+python monitor_build.py  # Identifies bottlenecks
+```
+
+## Build System Commands
+
+### Standard Commands
+```bash
+# Basic build
+make html
+
+# Clean build
+make clean && make html
+
+# Quick build (skip validation)
+make fast-build
+```
+
+### Enhanced Commands
+```bash
+# Enhanced build with validation
+make api-enhanced
+
+# Comprehensive validation
+make validate-all
+
+# Performance monitoring
+make monitor-build
+
+# Development build with browser opening
+make dev-build
+```
+
+### CI/CD Integration
+```bash
+# Commands used in GitHub Actions
+make clean
+python validate_templates.py
+make api-enhanced
+python validate_generated_docs.py
+make html
+```
+
+## File Organization
+
+### Template Files
+```
+docs/source/_templates/autosummary/
+├── class.rst          # Class documentation template
+├── module.rst         # Module documentation template
+└── function.rst       # Function documentation template (if created)
+```
+
+### Generated Files (Auto-Generated - DO NOT EDIT)
+```

+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Problems
+
+#### 1. Templates Not Applied
+**Symptoms**: Generated docs look basic, missing physics sections
+**Diagnosis**: 
+```bash
+python validate_templates.py  # Check template syntax
+make clean && make api-enhanced  # Force regeneration
+```
+**Solution**: Ensure templates are in correct location and have valid syntax
+
+#### 2. Build Failures
+**Symptoms**: `make html` fails with errors
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+make html 2>&1 | tee build.log  # Capture full error log
+grep -i error build.log         # Find specific errors
+```
+**Solution**: Check template syntax and Sphinx configuration
+
+#### 3. Physics Content Missing
+**Symptoms**: Core physics classes missing enhanced sections
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+python test_physics_content.py  # Check physics content validation
+```
+**Solution**: Verify conditional logic in class template
+
+#### 4. Performance Issues
+**Symptoms**: Very slow documentation builds
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+python test_performance.py  # Benchmark build performance
+```
+**Solution**: Optimize templates, check for infinite loops
+
+### Debug Information
+
+#### Template Debugging
+```bash
+# Add debug output to templates
+{% if debug %}
+DEBUG: Processing {{ fullname }} with objname {{ objname }}
+{% endif %}
+```
+
+#### Build Debugging
+```bash
+# Enable verbose Sphinx output
+SPHINXOPTS="-v" make html
+
+# Enable template debugging
+export TEMPLATE_DEBUG=1
+make api-enhanced
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Template Development
+1. **Always validate** templates before committing
+2. **Use conditional sections** to avoid cluttering non-physics classes
+3. **Test with multiple class types** (core, plotting, tools, etc.)
+4. **Follow RST syntax** carefully for proper rendering
+5. **Add comments** to explain complex template logic
+
+### Physics Documentation
+1. **Use consistent units** across all documentation
+2. **Include mathematical notation** where appropriate
+3. **Provide scientific context** for physics concepts
+4. **Cross-reference related classes** and functions
+5. **Validate scientific accuracy** through review process
+
+### Build Management
+1. **Use `make clean`** when template changes don't appear
+2. **Run validation suite** before major changes
+3. **Monitor build performance** to catch regressions
+4. **Test CI/CD compatibility** for workflow changes
+5. **Document custom modifications** for maintenance
+
+## Version Control
+
+### Git Workflow
+```bash
+# Create feature branch for template changes
+git checkout -b feature/enhance-plasma-docs
+
+# Make template modifications
+vim docs/source/_templates/autosummary/class.rst
