Code plus docs workflow

Generate technical docs directly from repository context.

CoDocs is designed for teams that need documentation to stay close to the codebase. It uses repository context, file structure, and guided generation flows to produce docs that are more grounded than generic AI writing.

CoDocs

Repository-aware generation

Use codebase structure, file trees, and repository analysis as the source material for documentation.

Chat and generation modes

Switch between guided exploration and direct documentation output depending on the task.

Technical communication that stays grounded

Generate docs that reflect actual code and architecture inputs rather than abstract summaries.

How it works

The workflow behind CoDocs.

Each step exists to reduce time-to-clarity for technical teams without forcing them into a separate diagramming or documentation toolchain.

Step 1

Select the repository

Connect a repo or public code source and inspect the file structure that matters.

Step 2

Guide the generation

Use chat prompts or generation actions to shape the output around the codebase.

Step 3

Export or expand

Share the result as a technical artifact or move it into richer document flows.
