Overview
Moxie Docs is an automated tool aimed at creating and maintaining documentation for GitHub repositories. It generates searchable documentation directly from the source code of a GitHub repository, making it easy to keep documentation up to date and consistent with the latest changes in the codebase.
Moxie Docs also integrates with AI development tools such as Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and Copilot. It identifies codebase conventions and spots existing documentation gaps when a repository is connected.
The tool delivers source-cited documentation as a PR for review, ensuring that all PRs are kept in alignment automatically. Moxie Docs detects changes, or 'drifts', in the codebase when new merges are made and flags any corresponding documentation that needs to be updated.
To facilitate this, it opens a 'Friday Cleanup' PR that encapsulates all the documentation changes required during the week. This approach ensures that the documentation remains relevant and current, thereby preventing it from becoming outdated or 'rotting'.
Moxie Docs also provides benefits for AI agents, offering a structured context that reduces token consumption and improves overall code quality.
