Automate technical documentation generation and maintenance for any codebase using AST parsing and dependency graphs.
AutoDocs is worth checking the docs before setup with trust notes worth reviewing. Check agent compatibility and use-case fit before adding it to your workflow.

AutoDocs automatically creates and updates technical documentation for your code. It reads your code, understands how different parts connect, and writes clear docs. It also includes a search tool that helps AI assistants understand your codebase better.
AutoDocs is an open-source tool by Sita that automates the generation and maintenance of technical documentation for any codebase. It uses tree-sitter for AST parsing and SCIP for symbol resolution to build a detailed dependency graph of your code. The tool then traverses this graph to produce accurate, dependency-aware documentation and summaries. It includes a FastAPI backend for ingestion and search, a Next.js web UI for chat and exploration, and an MCP server that allows AI coding agents to perform deep searches of your codebase via HTTP. AutoDocs supports multiple languages and is designed to keep documentation in sync with code changes, reducing the manual effort of documenting complex projects.
