Description

I'm loving this package, but the TypeScript types generation is very complicated. Is there a guide on how to contribute types? I understand that the core idea is that the types are generated from JSDoc.

I was hoping to add types for analytics-utils as I am developing a new plugin in TypeScript, however I'm a bit lost as to how that should be done.

Start by tracing how the repository generates TypeScript types from JSDoc, with particular attention to analytics-utils. Document the contribution workflow and explain how types for analytics-utils can be added; done means a newcomer can follow the guide to contribute those types.
