FAQPage Schema

How do I automatically generate technical documentation and architecture diagrams for my codebase?▼

You can automatically generate technical documentation and architecture diagrams by scanning source files and directory structures to produce structured markdown wikis. This process parses the repository to create comprehensive READMEs, architecture guides, and Mermaid-based visual diagrams of system flows.

What is the best way to generate Mermaid diagrams from source code for onboarding?▼

Generating Mermaid diagrams from source code involves parsing repository files to automatically create class and sequence diagrams. This visualizes system architecture and maps data flows, saving hours of manual exploration during project onboarding.

Can I generate documentation wikis for remote codebases or only local repositories?▼

You can generate documentation wikis for both local and remote codebases. The system scans directory structures and parses source files regardless of location, requiring standard terminal access for file system operations to produce the structured markdown output.

Do I need git installed to generate automated codebase documentation?▼

Yes, you need git installed to generate automated codebase documentation. Git is required specifically for version tracking during the repository scanning process, alongside standard terminal access to perform the necessary file system operations.
