Write-the uses AI to automatically write documentation and tests for your Python code. You give it your code, and it creates clear docs and test cases. It helps you save time and improve code quality without manual effort.
Write-the is an AI-powered documentation and test generation tool that leverages Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) / Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically write tests, generate documentation, and refactor code. It is designed to streamline the development process, improve code quality, and increase productivity. The tool can generate class and function descriptions, parameter explanations, examples, and test cases. It also supports converting code and data between formats, managing OpenAI models, and scaffolding MkDocs websites. Write-the requires Python 3.9+ and an OpenAI API key. It can be installed via pip or pipx and is ideal for developers who want to automate the tedious parts of software documentation and testing.
