Woah, this is really neat. My first step for many new libraries is to clone the repo, launch Claude code, and ask it to write good documentation for me. This would save a lot of steps for me!

I love it! I effectively achieve similar results by asking Cursor lots of questions!

Like at least one other person in the comments mentioned, I would like a slightly different tone.

Perhaps good feature would be a "style template", that can be chosen to match your preferred writing style.

I may submit a PR though not if it takes a lot of time.

Do one for LLVM and I'll definitely look at it.

I would find this more interesting if it made tutorials out if the Linux, LLVM, OpenZFS and FreeBSD codebases.

The overview diagrams it creates are pretty interesting, but the tone/style of the AI-generated text is insufferable to me - e.g. https://the-pocket.github.io/Tutorial-Codebase-Knowledge/Req...

A company (mutable ai) was acquired by Google last year for essentially doing this but outputting a wiki instead of a tutorial.

I suppose I'm just a little bit bothered by your saying you "built an AI" when all the heavy lifting is done by a pretrained LLM. Saying you made an AI-based program or hell, even saying you made an AI agent, would be more genuine than saying you "built an AI" which is such an all-encompassing thing that I don't even know what it means. At the very least it should imply use of some sort of training via gradient descent though.

do you have plans to expand this to include more advanced topics like architecture-level reasoning, refactoring patterns, or onboarding workflows for large-scale repositories?
