Autodoc is an experimental CLI toolkit that auto-generates documentation for git repositories using large language models like GPT-4. It indexes a codebase via depth-first traversal, writes docs for each file and folder, and lets developers ask questions about the codebase with answers linked back to source files.

Use cases

• generate documentation for a codebase automatically with llms
• ask questions about a repository and get answers with file references
• document every file and folder in a git repo
• keep codebase docs up to date via ci indexing
• onboard developers to an unfamiliar codebase with ai docs

When to choose

• you want llm-written documentation living alongside your code
• you need a question-answering interface over your repository
• you're exploring experimental ai documentation tooling

When to avoid

• you need production-stable documentation tooling
• you can't send code to an external llm
• you want fully deterministic, hand-written docs
