+# node-osc Documentation
+
+Welcome to the node-osc documentation! This directory contains comprehensive documentation for the node-osc library.
+
+## Documentation Overview
+
+### 📚 [API Reference](./API.md)
+**Complete API documentation for all classes and functions**
+
+Auto-generated from JSDoc comments in the source code. This is your reference for:
+- All classes: `Server`, `Client`, `Message`, `Bundle`
+- All methods and their parameters
+- Low-level functions: `encode()` and `decode()`
+- Return types and error conditions
+- Code examples for each API
+
+> **Note:** This file is automatically generated. To update it, edit the JSDoc comments in the source code and run `npm run docs`.
+
+### 📘 [Usage Guide](./GUIDE.md)
+**Best practices, patterns, and troubleshooting**
+
+A comprehensive guide covering:
+- Event handling patterns
+- Error handling strategies
+- OSC type system details
+- Best practices for production use
+- Troubleshooting common issues
+- Advanced topics like custom transports and performance optimization
+
+## Quick Navigation
+
+**New to node-osc?**
+1. Start with the [main README](../README.md) for a quick introduction and installation
+2. Try the [examples](../examples/) to see working code
+3. Read the [Usage Guide](./GUIDE.md) to learn best practices
+4. Reference the [API documentation](./API.md) as needed
+
+**Looking for something specific?**

+## Contributing to Documentation
+
+### Updating API Documentation
+
+The API documentation is automatically generated from JSDoc comments:
+
+1. Edit JSDoc comments in the source files (`lib/**/*.mjs`)
+2. Run `npm run docs` to regenerate `API.md`
+3. Review the changes and commit
+
+### Updating the Usage Guide
+
+The Usage Guide (`GUIDE.md`) is manually maintained. When editing:
+
+- Keep it focused on patterns, best practices, and how-to content
+- Avoid duplicating API details (link to API.md instead)
+- Include practical code examples
+- Update the table of contents if adding new sections
+
+## Documentation Structure Philosophy
+
+Our documentation is organized to minimize duplication while maximizing usefulness:
+
+- **README.md** (main) → Quick start, basic examples, installation
+- **API.md** → Complete API reference with all technical details
+- **GUIDE.md** → How to use the library effectively, patterns, and troubleshooting
+- **examples/** → Working code you can run and learn from
+
+This structure ensures you can find what you need without reading through repeated content.
