What it does

Give it a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository and it reads the structure, writes documentation, draws diagrams of how the pieces fit and organises the result into a wiki with guided code tours — useful when you inherit a codebase that never had docs. Explanations of *why* something is done are inference and can be wrong, so check against the source. Private repositories are sent to whichever model you configure. Docs in ten languages including Japanese. MIT.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
