AIGNE DocSmith

AIGNE DocSmith is a command-line tool that takes the tedious work out of creating project documentation. You point it at your codebase, and it does the rest: it scans your source files, README, and configuration files, then generates a complete, ready-to-publish documentation website. This includes written pages explaining your code's functionality and automatically created architecture diagrams and flowcharts. The final output is clean HTML that you can deploy with a single command, turning a scattered collection of code files into a professional, navigable docs site.

What makes DocSmith stand out is its tight integration with popular AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. You don't need to configure build steps or templates; you just run commands like `/doc-smith-create` from within your agent. The process is structured: it first analyzes your repo, then proposes a documentation outline for your review before generating the actual content. It also handles translation into multiple languages while keeping technical terms consistent, and it can update documentation incrementally when your code changes, avoiding full rebuilds.

This tool is a clear win for developers and engineering teams who want to maintain good documentation but find the process time-consuming. It's perfect for open-source maintainers who need to onboard new contributors, startup teams shipping fast who need to keep their internal docs in sync, or any developer preparing a project for public release. By automating the heavy lifting, DocSmith lets you ship documentation as routinely as you ship code.
