FAQPage Schema
How do I generate HTML architecture documentation from my codebase?

To generate HTML architecture documentation, this Skill automates codebase analysis to extract component relationships and API references, rendering them into a searchable, navigable HTML site. It processes docstrings and OpenAPI specs to produce consistent architecture diagrams and component maps.

Can I create API references and architecture diagrams automatically from code?

Yes, you can create API references and architecture diagrams automatically by leveraging code analysis of docstrings and OpenAPI specs. The Skill extracts component relationships and templates them into a navigable HTML output with diagrams for onboarding and audits.

What's the best way to document software architecture for new engineer onboarding?

The best way to document architecture for onboarding is to auto-generate a searchable HTML site from your codebase. This ensures documentation stays in sync with code by extracting API references and component maps directly during the build process.

Does this HTML documentation generator work with OpenAPI specs and docstrings?

Yes, this HTML documentation generator works with OpenAPI specs and docstrings by performing automated codebase analysis. It extracts architecture details and API references from these sources to template navigable HTML output with consistent theming.

How do I keep my HTML architecture docs in sync with my code during project handoffs?

To keep HTML architecture docs in sync with code during handoffs, this Skill automates documentation generation directly from the codebase. By extracting component relationships and API references via code analysis, it produces an accurate, navigable HTML site.

Are there limitations when generating navigable HTML docs for large codebases?

There are no stated limitations for large codebases; the Skill is designed for software projects of all sizes. It handles large codebases by automating code analysis to produce navigable HTML architecture documentation with consistent navigation schemas.
