DocuWriter.ai — Codebase Documentation Generator

Generate exhaustive, file‑level documentation for an entire repository in one sweep.

1 · What It Does

  • Creates a separate technical document for every selected source file (classes, controllers, configs, etc.).
  • Groups the resulting docs in a freshly minted Space, ready for team review, export, or sharing.

2 · Launching the Generator

Git Connections → Codebase Documentation

3 · Quick‑Start Workflow

  1. Repository - Pick any repository from your connected Git sources
  2. Branch - Enter the branch name to analyze (defaults to master / main).
  3. Click Sync codebase.
  4. A file‑tree of the repo appears - tick only the files you need (un‑tick vendor, binaries, etc.).
  5. (Optional) Additional instructions - Add context the AI should respect in every doc.
  6. Hit Generate documentation.

Tip → Limit selection to the meaningful code to save time and credits.

4 · Output & Space Creation

  • Each file becomes a stand‑alone document with:- Overview ➜ Purpose, dependencies, visibility
  • Detailed breakdown ➜ classes, methods, parameters, return types
  • Inline code snippets & explanatory comments
  • All files are auto‑assembled in a new Space
  • From that Space you can search, export PDF/Markdown, manage versions, or share read‑only links.

5 · Best Practices

✔ Do ✘ Don't
Cherry‑pick only relevant source files. Dump node_modules/, compiled artifacts, or huge binaries.
Provide architectural notes in Additional instructions to enrich every page. Leave sensitive credentials in code—remember docs may be shared.
Re‑run after big merges to keep docs current. Rely on default branch names—type the exact branch you want.

6 · Troubleshooting & FAQ

  • Missing repo in dropdown → Verify it's you have connected your Git sources under Git Connections.
  • Docs need deeper context → Edit pages directly in the Space or regenerate with richer instructions.
