Living Documentation

Living Documentation takes an existing repository, indexes it, and provides a user interface using a standard taxonomy to make your repository and other things easier to discover and understand.

You can have a fully working software documentation system in your existing repository. You can also federate multiple instances to create a global view of your organization.

FAQ

Why can I not edit directly in this static site?

We currently do not provide a built-in user interface for editing the documentation, because there are already millions of workflows to choose from. You can edit files with Obsidian, VS Code, GitHub directly, or even with an AI agent by simply describing the changes you want. Because of that, we are not focusing on creating a direct edit feature right now.
