Docs Squirrel is an AI agent that writes documentation for codebase of sizes and in any programming language and framework.

Companies struggle to create and maintain up-to-date technical documentation for their codebases due to constant changes, time constraints, and the specialized language required in the field.

With Docs Squirrel you don't need to worry about documenting your codebase anymore, instead focus on shipping new features while Docs Squirrel writes and manage your codebase documentation for you.

Docs Squirrel can generate documentation for: Personal project codebase Libraries, SDK, and frameworks Company codebase and more

How it works You choose the repository containing your project codebase, then the kind of documentation you want to generate (technical, onboarding, structural, in-file comment) and then select the output template (single-page markdown, multi-page markdown, Docusaurus, HTML, MkDocs, or Docsify), then it will generate the documentation for you in minutes and in the spoken language or your choice.

Additionally, you can also create new versions for the same codebase, for example you can decide to create an in-file comment as the first version, then generate a technical documentation as the second version, and then create another technical documentation versions in Japanese, Korean, Greek, Yoruba and Chinese language.

FAQs Do you need to include a README in your codebase before Docs Squirrel can understand it? No, Docs Squirrel is an AI agent and it uses RAG to read and understand your codebase. It will understand your codebase even if your codebase is messy with unclear variable namings.

What kind of Documentation can I generate? Currently you can generate the following: 1. Technical documentation: Developer usage documentation and it is good for libraries, frameworks and SDKs. 2. Onboarding documentation: The documentation for new employees, to let them quickly get familiar with the codebase. 3, Structural documentation: Directory structure, function and class definitions. 4. In-file comment: Unlike the other documentation types, this adds inline comments to all the code files in your codebase while leaving your code and existing comments untouched.

What documentation templates can I choose from? Currently Docs Squirrel supports generating in the following templates and frameworks: 1. Single-page markdown 2. Multi-page markdown 3. Docusaurus 4. HTML (Multi-page) 5. MkDocs 6. Docsify

Can I download the documentation? Yes, you can download the documentation as ZIP, TAR and TAR.GZ, additionally, you can publish it to a new or existing GitHub repository
