Using summary with a for loop using tasks is not very descriptive.

vars:
  FROM_DIRS: a,b
tasks:
  example:
    desc: Something
    cmds:
      - for: { var: FROM_DIRS, split: ',' }
        task: next-task
        vars:
          DIR: '{{.ITEM}}'

task --summary example

task: example

Something

commands:
 - Task: next-task
 - Task: next-task

Might need vars or

      - for: { var: FROM_DIRS, split: ',' }
        task: next-task
        desc: '{{.task}} {{.ITEM}}'
        vars:
          DIR: '{{.ITEM}}'

Its common to document a task via desc with a multi-line comment. You can achieve anything you want.

tasks:
  example:
    desc: |
      Something
      -----------
      This task needs vars: FOO, BAR
    cmds:

More complex generated content could be done with #2348, which I personally use for generating documentation directly from task and a taskfile.
