Frequently Asked Questions about wiki-architect

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate architecture documentation from an existing codebase?▼

Generate architecture documentation by scanning your codebase to create a navigable wiki with a hierarchical catalog. This produces structured onboarding guides and overviews while citing source files for traceability across projects of any size or language.

What is the best way to create onboarding guides for a complex repository?▼

The best way to create onboarding guides is to transform code repositories into a structured wiki catalog. This reduces onboarding time by producing high-level architecture overviews, getting started sections, and deep-dive guides with direct source file citations.

Can I document a project of any size and language using a wiki catalog?▼

Yes, you can document projects of any size and language. The process organizes the repository structure into a navigable wiki, applying broadly to provide a comprehensive overview of architecture, components, and development workflows.

How does source file traceability work in generated wiki documentation?▼

Source file traceability in wiki documentation works by directly citing source files within the generated hierarchical catalog. This approach preserves navigation links from the onboarding guides and architecture overviews back to the original codebase components.

How do I structure a wiki catalog for my codebase?▼

Structure a wiki catalog by generating a hierarchical layout from the repository. It produces structured onboarding, getting started, and deep-dive sections that map out the architecture and components to improve knowledge transfer across teams.

When do I need to turn my codebase into a navigable wiki?▼

You need to turn your codebase into a navigable wiki when onboarding time is high and knowledge transfer across teams is suffering. Generating a wiki catalog provides an enterprise-friendly approach to structured documentation and reduces these frictions.
