+"""TODO: Add a proper docstring here.
+
+This is a placeholder docstring for this charm library. Docstrings are
+presented on Charmhub and updated whenever you push a new version of the
+library.
+
+Complete documentation about creating and documenting libraries can be found
+in the SDK docs at https://juju.is/docs/sdk/libraries.
+
+See `charmcraft publish-lib` and `charmcraft fetch-lib` for details of how to
+share and consume charm libraries. They serve to enhance collaboration
+between charmers. Use a charmer's libraries for classes that handle
+integration with their charm.
+
+Bear in mind that new revisions of the different major API versions (v0, v1,
+v2 etc) are maintained independently.  You can continue to update v0 and v1
+after you have pushed v3.
+
+Markdown is supported, following the CommonMark specification.
