Why not show your idea? I cannot understand that. I can think of this:

(defvar my-doc "Hello")

(defun my-fun ()
  my-doc
  (ignore))

It did not work, but I think it should.

my-fun is a Lisp function.

(my-fun)

Not documented.

Maybe this way:

(defmacro my-fun ()
  `(defun my-fun ()
     ,my-doc
     (ignore)))

(my-fun) ⇒ nil ;; defines function by using value defined with defvar

my-fun is a Lisp function.

(my-fun)

Hello
