To auto-generate codebase documentation, you can use a tool that reads local repository files and produces a Markdown wiki containing an organized module map alongside Mermaid class and sequence diagrams for quick architectural understanding.

Yes, you can generate Mermaid diagrams for a private codebase without external services by using offline tooling that reads local files directly, requiring no dependencies beyond terminal and file read/write access to compose the documentation.

The best way to create a module map for developer onboarding is to automate wiki generation, producing a referenceable Markdown artifact with structured module maps and visual diagrams suitable for GitHub rendering.

No external dependencies are needed to create a codebase wiki offline. The process relies solely on local Hermes tooling, utilizing terminal access and file read/write operations to map the repository and generate Markdown documentation.

Yes, auto-generated codebase documentation supports GitHub rendering because the output consists of standard Markdown files containing native Mermaid sequence and class diagrams, which GitHub natively renders for repository visualization.

A limitation of automated wiki generation is that the architectural documentation produced is only a static reference artifact, meaning it must be manually re-run or updated to reflect subsequent codebase changes.
