+### Documentation Comments ###
+
+Use [Doxygen](https://www.doxygen.nl/) for API documentation:
+
+- **Doc blocks**: Use `/** @brief Description */` (JavaDoc-style), not `///`
+- **Member comments**: Use trailing `///<` for inline member documentation
+- **TODOs**: Use `//! \todo Description` (Qt-style) so Doxygen collects them into a Todo List
+  (uses [Qt-style comments](https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/docblocks.html) with
+  Doxygen's [\todo command](https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/commands.html#cmdtodo))
+
