+# Dataclasses
+
+## Basic
+
+Decorating a class with `@dataclass` is a convenient way to add special methods such as `__init__`,
+`__repr__`, and `__eq__` to a class. The following example shows the basic usage of the `@dataclass`
+decorator. By default, only the three mentioned methods are generated.
+
+```py
+from dataclasses import dataclass
+
+@dataclass
+class Person:
+    name: str
+    age: int | None = None
+
+alice1 = Person("Alice", 30)
+alice2 = Person(name="Alice", age=30)
+alice3 = Person(age=30, name="Alice")
+alice4 = Person("Alice", age=30)
+
+reveal_type(alice1)  # revealed: Person
+reveal_type(type(alice1))  # revealed: type[Person]
+
+reveal_type(alice1.name)  # revealed: str
+reveal_type(alice1.age)  # revealed: int | None
+
+reveal_type(repr(alice1))  # revealed: str
+
+reveal_type(alice1 == alice2)  # revealed: bool
+reveal_type(alice1 == "Alice")  # revealed: bool
+
+bob = Person("Bob")
+bob2 = Person("Bob", None)
+bob3 = Person(name="Bob")
+bob4 = Person(name="Bob", age=None)
+```
+
+The signature of the `__init__` method is generated based on the classes attributes. The following
+calls are not valid:
+
+```py
+# TODO: should be an error: too few arguments
+Person()
+
+# TODO: should be an error: too many arguments
+Person("Eve", 20, "too many arguments")
+
+# TODO: should be an error: wrong argument type
+Person("Eve", "string instead of int")
+
+# TODO: should be an error: wrong argument types
+Person(20, "Eve")
+```
+
+## `@dataclass` calls with arguments
+
+The `@dataclass` decorator can take several arguments to customize the behavior of the generated
+methods. This first test merely makes sure that we still treat the class as a dataclass if (the
+default) arguments are passed in:
+
+```py
+from dataclasses import dataclass
+
+@dataclass(init=True, repr=True, eq=True)
+class Person:
+    name: str
+    age: int | None = None
+
+alice = Person("Alice", 30)
+reveal_type(repr(alice))  # revealed: str
+reveal_type(alice == alice)  # revealed: bool
+```

+class DataWithDescription[T]:
+    data: T
+    description: str
+
+reveal_type(DataWithDescription[int])  # revealed: Literal[DataWithDescription[int]]
+
+d_int = DataWithDescription[int](1, "description")  # OK
+reveal_type(d_int.data)  # revealed: int
+reveal_type(d_int.description)  # revealed: str
+
+# TODO: should be an error: wrong argument type
+DataWithDescription[int](None, "description")
+```

+## Special cases

+### `dataclasses.dataclass`
+
+We also understand dataclasses, if they are decorated with the fully qualified name
+
+```py
+import dataclasses
+
+@dataclasses.dataclass
+class Person:
+    name: str
+    age: int | None = None
+
+# TODO: should show the proper signature
+reveal_type(Person.__init__)  # revealed: (*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> None
+```
+
+### Dataclass with `init=False`
+
+To do
+
+### Dataclass with custom `__init__` method
+
+To do
+
+### Dataclass with `ClassVar`s
+
+To do
+
+### Using `dataclass` as a function
+
+To do
+
+## Internals
+
+The `dataclass` decorator returns the class itself. This means that the type of `Person` is `type`,
+and attributes like the MRO are unchanged:
+
+```py
+from dataclasses import dataclass
+
+@dataclass
+class Person:
+    name: str
+    age: int | None = None
+
+reveal_type(type(Person))  # revealed: Literal[type]
+reveal_type(Person.__mro__)  # revealed: tuple[Literal[Person], Literal[object]]
+```
+
+The generated methods have the following signatures:
+
+```py
+from typing import Callable
+from knot_extensions import CallableTypeOf
+
+def _(c: CallableTypeOf[Person.__init__]):
+    # TODO: Proper signature
+    reveal_type(c)  # revealed: (*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> None
+
+def _(c: CallableTypeOf[Person.__repr__]):
+    reveal_type(c)  # revealed: (self) -> str
+
+def _(c: CallableTypeOf[Person.__eq__]):
+    reveal_type(c)  # revealed: (self, value: object, /) -> bool
+```
