If I understand correctly, it looks like you want to generate RDocs for your app? Rails has built-in support for doing this with the following rake task:

rake doc:app

This will generate documentation in /doc/app/ of your app.

As for writing RDoc, there are plenty of resources out there, the RDoc documentation itself is a good place to start: http://rdoc.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html
