The lack of an automated solution for converting codebases into documentation poses challenges in terms of time, accuracy, and code comprehension. Documentation is often ignored by developers, especially in fast-building teams. However, this leads to severe technical debt. Since technical documentation is hard and existing tools are limited or expensive, there is a need for comprehensive automatic documentation generation.

Our prototype offers a seamless solution to transform a full codebase into comprehensive developer documentation in just one step. By uploading a zip file containing the codebase, you can let the magic happen. The resulting documentation includes function explanations, API specs, table schemas, and dependencies, all in Markdown format.

To power our documentation generation, we leverage the capabilities of GPT-3.5. This advanced language model enables us to produce accurate and contextually relevant documentation for the given codebase.

1. Codebase Traversal

2. Code Embeddings

3. Handling Large Code Files

4. Maintaining Context with Agglomerating Clustering

5. Efficient Documentation Generation

We harness the power of the LLM to perform code refactoring, with our complex prompt to change the given code block to a neater, efficient and structurally sound code output. We focus on the cleanliness in the prompting along with considering various code analytics to get the best output.

We also provide a solution to add testing for a specific code block. This forms an integral component in the developer experience, and eliminates the need to devote much time to think about the testing. We again leverage well thought of prompts to give optimal and exhaustive tests.
