Hi everyone,
We’re exploring how to generate technical docs from a legacy codebase — not for developers, but for support engineers and users. The idea is to capture not just functions, but also cross-module workflows and system behavior, so teams can troubleshoot and understand the software more easily.
Rough phases:
-
Parse codebase → extract structure & relationships
-
Build context → let AI “walk” across files/modules
-
Generate docs → practical Markdown docs (support/user oriented)
-
Publish → ideally in Confluence
Looking for community input on:
-
Parsing tools you’ve found effective
-
Best practices for AI cross-file context
-
Strategies for docs that are support/user friendly
-
Tips for making the pipeline sustainable across releases
We’re determined to move fast and minimize early missteps — any lessons or tools you can share would be invaluable.
Thanks!
