Getting started

  1. 1Set up Cody in your IDE or use Sourcegraph for full codebase indexing.
  2. 2Create Claude Opus prompts for analyzing code structure, functions, classes, and dependencies.
  3. 3Use DSPy to define documentation generation tasks (API docs, architecture guides, setup instructions).
  4. 4Parse and structure generated docs with Docling into consistent Markdown format.
  5. 5Version docs and code snapshots with DVC for reproducibility.
  6. 6Automate the pipeline with BuildShip to trigger on commits and generate updated docs.
  7. 7Store generated docs in Git alongside code for easy review and deployment.
