+    `duck_geoarrow` converts between DuckDB's WKB-based `GEOMETRY`/`BLOB` type and
+    [GeoArrow](https://geoarrow.org) native struct encodings, powered by
+    [geoarrow-c](https://github.com/geoarrow/geoarrow-c).
+
+    **Generic conversion functions** (accept `GEOMETRY` or `BLOB` containing WKB):
+
+    - `st_asgeoarrow(geom)` — WKB → GeoArrow struct with geometry_type, xs, ys, ring_offsets, geom_offsets
+    - `st_geomfromgeoarrow(struct)` — GeoArrow struct → WKB `GEOMETRY`
+
+    **Native-typed functions** (return Arrow-native nested types for direct columnar use):
+
+    | Function | Arrow type |
+    |---|---|
+    | `st_asgeoarrowpoint` | `Struct<x: DOUBLE, y: DOUBLE>` |
+    | `st_asgeoarrowlinestring` | `List<Struct<x, y>>` |
+    | `st_asgeoarrowpolygon` | `List<List<Struct<x, y>>>` |
+    | `st_asgeoarrowmultipoint` | `List<Struct<x, y>>` |
+    | `st_asgeoarrowmultilinestring` | `List<List<Struct<x, y>>>` |
+    | `st_asgeoarrowmultipolygon` | `List<List<List<Struct<x, y>>>>` |
+
+    **Utility:**
+
+    - `duck_geoarrow_version()` — returns extension and geoarrow-c version info
+
+    All functions accept both `GEOMETRY` (from the spatial extension) and raw `BLOB`
+    containing valid WKB. The native-typed functions validate that the input geometry
+    matches the expected type and raise an error on mismatch.
