Docs That Match Your Code, Not Your Memory of It

OpenAPI specs, endpoint references, and usage examples — generated from your actual implementation.

GitIntel tracks AI-generated code across your entire git history — giving every tool on this page the attribution layer that standard dev tooling misses.

Generate Your API Docs with GitIntel

API documentation has a synchronization problem. Docs are written at launch, code changes weekly, and the drift compounds until the docs are more harmful than helpful — a developer trusts the documented behavior and ships a bug because the actual behavior diverged six months ago.

AI coding tools accelerate this problem. When 40–60% of API surface area is generated by AI tools, the author of those endpoints often doesn't have deep enough understanding to write accurate documentation. The AI generated the code; no human fully reviewed it; the docs get written from the code's apparent behavior rather than its intended contract.

GitIntel's documentation generator reads your actual route handlers, type definitions, and request/response patterns to produce OpenAPI 3.1 specifications. It's not inferring from comments — it's reading the code. For AI-generated endpoints, it adds an attribution note so documentation consumers know which parts had the highest likelihood of undocumented edge cases.

Run `gitintel docs --format openapi` to generate a complete spec. Supports Express, Fastify, Next.js App Router API routes, FastAPI, and Go's standard http library.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it handle authentication documentation?

Yes. GitIntel detects auth middleware patterns and documents them in the OpenAPI security schemes section, including JWT, API key, and OAuth2 flows.

Can it keep docs updated as the API changes?

Yes. Run `gitintel docs --watch` in CI to regenerate the spec on each merge to main, or use the GitHub Actions integration to fail PRs that introduce undocumented API changes.

What output formats are supported?

OpenAPI 3.1 JSON/YAML, Markdown, and HTML (Redoc-compatible). Postman collection export is on the roadmap.
