description	Generate a project wiki from your codebase. Use when creating documentation.

Wiki Generator

Your project needs documentation. This scans your codebase and generates a complete wiki.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-wiki ./src/

What It Does

• Scans your codebase
• Generates wiki pages for each module
• Documents architecture and patterns
• Creates navigation structure

Usage Examples

# Generate wiki
npx ai-wiki ./src/

# From lib folder
npx ai-wiki ./lib/

Best Practices

• Keep it updated - regenerate when code changes
• Add manual context - AI misses some nuances
• Link related pages - make navigation easy
• Include examples - show, don't just tell

When to Use This

• Creating project documentation
• Onboarding new developers
• Open source projects
• Internal documentation
