## What it is
OpenWiki is a TypeScript CLI that uses a Deep Agents documentation agent to generate and continuously maintain a linked Markdown wiki for a codebase or personal knowledge. It grounds claims in versioned source evidence, supports many LLM providers and coding-agent integrations, and ships an interactive graph visualizer for exploring the wiki.

## Use cases
- generate documentation for my codebase automatically
- keep wiki docs up to date as code changes
- create a knowledge base my AI coding agent can read as memory
- visualize my repository as an explorable knowledge graph
- build a personal wiki from notes and sources like Notion and Slack
- auto-refresh docs in CI on every commit

## When to avoid
- you need fully deterministic, hand-controlled documentation without LLM generation
- you don't want to pay for or configure LLM API access
- your project is tiny where a hand-written README suffices
- you require offline generation with no model provider available
