Start with the template's {{cookiecutter.project_slug}}/mkdocs.yml and docs/api.md, then read the linked mkdocstrings recipe for automatic code reference pages. Check how mkdocs_gen_files and mkdocs-literate-nav fit the template's existing configuration. Done means generated docs provide per-submodule API pages and navigation without manually maintained stubs.

Is Your Feature Request Related to a Problem? Please Describe

Currently the mkdocstrings configuration for the MkDocs docs in the template

https://github.com/UCL-ARC/python-tooling/blob/f1a228d564614619b61e3783f7527b5b5672efb6/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.project_slug%7D%7D/mkdocs.yml#L46-L55

is set up to show submodules on the same page as the parent package, with a single 'API reference' page included in the docs

https://github.com/UCL-ARC/python-tooling/blob/f1a228d564614619b61e3783f7527b5b5672efb6/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.project_slug%7D%7D/docs/api.md?plain=1#L1-L3

While this works reasonably for small packages, once packages start getting larger it gets cumbersome to have all the API documentation on a single page.

In Sphinx the analagous autodoc plug-in instead defaults to creating a nested directory structure in the built docs reflecting the package structure with one page per submodule and appropriate indices to link all the nav together.

This can be achieved manually in our current set up by setting show_submodules to False, creating a Markdown source page for each submodule with the appropriate content, and adding entries to the nav section for each of the module pages but this is obviously very error prone / likely to end up getting out of sync.

Describe the Solution You'd Like

The mkdocstrings docs has instructions for setting up a recipe to automate building the appropriate module stub pages using mkdocs_gen_files plug-in and generating the navigation structure using mkdocs-literate-nav - ideally we should implement this in the template.
