# Wiki Generator

Your project needs documentation. This scans your codebase and generates a complete wiki.

**One command. Zero config. Just works.**

## Quick Start

```bash
npx ai-wiki ./src/
```

## What It Does

- Scans your codebase
- Generates wiki pages for each module
- Documents architecture and patterns
- Creates navigation structure

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Generate wiki
npx ai-wiki ./src/

# From lib folder
npx ai-wiki ./lib/
```

## Best Practices

- **Keep it updated** - regenerate when code changes
- **Add manual context** - AI misses some nuances
- **Link related pages** - make navigation easy
- **Include examples** - show, don't just tell

## When to Use This

- Creating project documentation
- Onboarding new developers
- Open source projects
- Internal documentation
