doc-writer

Yes, incremental updating of existing project documentation is supported. When existing docs are present, the tool updates relevant paragraphs without overwriting your manual content, only adding or modifying the necessary sections.

You can extract dependencies from build.gradle, build.gradle.kts, and libs.versions.toml files for documentation. The tool parses these build files to identify project dependencies and includes them in the generated technical docs.

Creating architecture overviews and structure diagrams for multi-module projects is done by analyzing the project structure. The tool detects main entry points and module relationships to automatically generate these visual representations in Markdown.

The auto-generated Markdown documentation works with Confluence and documentation sites. Outputting in default Markdown format ensures the generated README and technical docs can be directly integrated into repositories or web-based documentation platforms.

Limitations of auto-generating technical docs include relying on detectable project structures and build files for extraction. If selected files lack clear entry points or standard build configurations, the generated architecture overview may be incomplete.
