Doctective

Doctective is an automated documentation and code intelligence tool designed to keep your repositories accurately documented with minimal manual effort. Once installed, it continuously analyzes your codebase to generate and update technical documentation, ensuring that README files, method references, and architectural overviews stay in sync with the latest changes. Its primary purpose is to eliminate stale docs and provide developers with an always-current, navigable view of their systems.

The platform automatically updates README files based on the current project structure, configuration, and usage patterns, reducing the need for manual edits after refactors or new feature additions. It documents every method and function across your codebase, capturing signatures, descriptions, and relationships to other components, which helps teams quickly understand how pieces fit together. Doctective also visualizes cross-repository and intra-repository dependencies, giving you a clear map of how services, modules, and libraries interact. This visibility supports impact analysis, onboarding, and architecture reviews by turning complex code relationships into understandable documentation and diagrams.
