CodeWiki is an open-source Python framework that uses LLM-powered multi-agent processing to generate holistic, structured documentation for large, multilingual codebases. It decomposes repositories hierarchically, captures cross-module architecture, and produces docs with diagrams, supporting multiple LLM providers via a CLI.

Use cases

• generate documentation for an entire repository automatically
• open-source DeepWiki alternative for repo-level docs
• understand a large unfamiliar codebase quickly
• create architecture diagrams and docs for multilingual projects
• document a 1M+ line codebase with LLMs
• auto-generate wiki pages from a GitHub repo

When to choose

• you need repository-level, architecture-aware documentation rather than per-function docstrings
• your codebase spans multiple programming languages
• you want an open-source, self-hostable DeepWiki alternative with provider flexibility

When to avoid

• you only need simple docstring or API reference generation from source comments
• you cannot send proprietary code to external LLM providers and lack local models
• you need guaranteed up-to-date docs on every commit without review
