Auto-Generate API Documentation from Code Comments
Transform inline code comments into professional API documentation using OpenAI Codex, then publish to a documentation site automatically.
Workflow Steps
OpenAI Codex 3.0
Extract and enhance documentation
Use Codex to analyze your codebase and generate comprehensive API documentation from inline comments. Configure it to maintain consistent formatting, add missing parameter descriptions, and generate usage examples for each function or endpoint.
GitHub Actions
Trigger on code commits
Set up a workflow that automatically runs when code is pushed to your main branch. Configure the action to pass the updated code files to Codex for documentation generation, ensuring docs stay in sync with code changes.
GitBook
Publish updated documentation
Configure GitBook integration to automatically receive the generated documentation from GitHub Actions. Set up proper formatting, navigation structure, and publish the updated docs to your team's documentation portal.
