-//! Futures task based helpers
+//! Futures task based helpers to easily test futures and manually written futures.
+//!
+//! The [`Spawn`] type is used as a mock task harness that allows you to poll futures
+//! without needing to setup pinning or context. Any future can be polled but if the
+//! future requires the tokio async context you will need to ensure that you poll the
+//! [`Spawn`] within a tokio context, this means that as long as you are inside the
+//! runtime it will work and you can poll it via [`Spawn`].
+//!
+//! [`Spawn`] also supports [`Stream`] to call `poll_next` without pinning
+//! or context.
+//!
+//! In addition to circumventing the need for pinning and context, [`Spawn`] also tracks
+//! the amount of times the future/task was woken. This can be useful to track if some
+//! leaf future notified the root task correctly.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use tokio_test::task;
+//!
+//! let fut = async {};
+//!
+//! let mut task = task::spawn(fut);
+//!
+//! assert!(task.poll().is_ready(), "Task was not ready!");
+//! ```
