Description

We don't currently have any guidelines around documenting elements or directives. Might be something like this:

## Documenting directives

To add API documentation to directives, we recommend adding a doc comment on the directive function:

```ts
/**
* Renders a placeholder message until `promise` resolves, then renders the
* value of the fulfilled promise.
* @param promise A promise that yields a value to render
*/
export const resolvePromise = directive(ResolvePromise);
```

Research direction

Find the appropriate documentation section in the lit.dev repository for directive API guidance. Use the proposed “Documenting directives” content and example as the starting point; done means published guidance explains doc comments and parameter documentation for directives.
