Canonical documentation is structured, authoritative technical documentation that standardizes architecture, data models, security posture, and API references. It eliminates manual reverse engineering by extracting actual codebase structures into consistent Markdown output.

Yes, you can automatically extract security posture and data model details for project audits by scanning repository configurations, schemas, and test files. This generates structured documentation aligned with technical audit standards.

The best way to document an inherited repository for developer onboarding is to generate canonical docs directly from the codebase. Scanning source files and configs produces reliable, standards-aligned technical documentation for new team members.

Yes, extracting technical documentation from source files requires a specific project structure. You need a spec-kit project structure and a docguard-cli tool to scan source files and configurations for accurate architecture and environment details.

Codebase-aware extraction reads OpenAPI sources and test files by scanning them directly from the repository. It documents what actually exists in the codebase, translating routes and schemas into structured API references and test specifications.

Generating canonical documentation from an existing codebase is limited by its dependency on the spec-kit project structure and docguard-cli. It requires existing source files and configs to extract data, preventing documentation generation for incomplete repositories.
