ShipDocs — private repo docs + cited AI chat in 2 minutes

CodeWiki only works on public repos. ShipDocs works on yours.

Every growing team hits the same wall: new hires can’t find their way around the codebase, and senior devs spend hours every week being the human wiki. ShipDocs fixes that in one pipeline — import a repo, get structured docs, and let anyone on the team ask questions with answers that cite real file paths, not guesses.

How it works

  1. Connect your code — private GitHub or GitLab repo, ZIP upload, or local folder via CLI

  2. ShipDocs indexes it — scans your codebase, detects components, encrypts everything at rest (AES-256-GCM)

  3. Docs appear in ~2 minutes — 9 modules per project (overview, architecture, backend, frontend, workers, API, setup, and more)

  4. Your team browses or chats — ask “where is webhook verification?” and get an answer with `src/routes/billing.ts:176 ` attached

Also included per project: architecture diagram, Dockerfile generator, and production readiness audit.

Docs auto-sync when you push to GitHub or GitLab. Export/Edit your projects Markdown anytime. Your code is never used to train AI models.

Built for the whole team — not just engineers

  • New devs onboard without pulling seniors off shipping
