+# `scipy-stubs/codegen`
+
+To run a codemod, ensure that you are in the root directory of the `scipy-stubs` repository and run:
+
+```bash
+poe codemod $NAME
+```
+
+where `$NAME` is the name is the name of the codemod, which can be one of:
+
+- `AnnotateMissing` - Sets the default return type to `None`, and sets the other missing annotations to `scipy._typing.Untyped`.
+- `FixTrailingComma` - Adds a trailing comma to parameters that don't fit on one line, so that ruff formats them correctly.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The codemods require `libcst`, which is installable through the **optional** `codegen` dependency group:
+>
+> ```bash
+> poetry install --with=codegen
+> ```
