Writing documentation is labor-intensive yet essential for managing shared codebases. Dosu helps lighten the load by generating and maintaining docs for you. E28be77e 4c90 4917 93a4 6efa62d50b39 Pn

​
Approach

Dosu synthesizes documentation using multiple inputs—including:
  • Code
  • Conversations
  • Tickets
  • Reviews
It analyzes all of these sources to automatically generate documentation, and keeps it in sync as your project evolves. SCR 20250818 Kbft Pn

Additional Context

  • Dosu is designed to minimize the friction of documentation, empowering engineers to document features or investigations 100× faster than writing from scratch.
  • More recently, Dosu introduced One-Click Documentation via suggestions based on recent activity. It detects recent changes and offers to generate new docs with a single click.
  • Dosu’s philosophy is to let users build while it handles documentation (“you build, Dosu documents”).

Next Steps

With Generate Docs enabled, you can quickly move from empty pages to structured, review-ready documentation.
  • Use Drafts for early iterations.
  • Click Publish once you’re happy, and Dosu will help keep it up to date.
  • Pair this with Maintain Docs to ensure your documentation remains up-to-date.
Documentation shouldn’t slow you down. Dosu integrates it into your everyday workflow.
