Automatically generate comprehensive documentation for code repositories, get team feedback via Slack, and push approved docs to GitHub. Perfect for development teams maintaining multiple projects.

Workflow Steps

1

Ollama

Generate code documentation

Set up Ollama with a code-focused model (like CodeLlama) to automatically scan repository files and generate comprehensive documentation including function descriptions, API endpoints, and usage examples based on code comments and structure.

2

GitHub Actions

Trigger documentation workflow

Configure a GitHub Action that runs on code commits or manual triggers, calling the Ollama API to process changed files and generate updated documentation in markdown format.

3

Slack

Post documentation for review

Use Slack's webhook integration to automatically post the generated documentation to a designated review channel, mentioning relevant team members and including links to the specific code changes.

4

GitHub

Update repository documentation

After team approval via Slack reactions or comments, automatically commit the reviewed documentation back to the repository's docs folder or wiki, maintaining version control and keeping documentation in sync with code changes.
