jatinmayekar/openwiki-for-claude-code

This project is a plugin that brings OpenWiki, a tool from LangChain for writing agent-facing repository documentation, into Claude Code. Normally, OpenWiki's own command line tool needs a separate paid API key to run its inference. Since Claude Code users are already paying for their own inference through Claude Code itself, this plugin uses that existing inference instead, so no extra key or subscription is needed to generate the docs.\n\nOnce installed as a Claude Code plugin, it adds a handful of slash commands: one to generate the wiki from scratch, one to update it based on recent commits, one to ask questions against the wiki's content, and one to schedule automatic refreshes so the documentation stays current without manual effort. The generated output includes a quickstart page plus focused section pages covering things like architecture, workflows, domain concepts, operations, and testing, each grounded in and referencing the actual source code. It also writes metadata about the last update and reference sections meant for other AI agents to read. The key design point is that this plugin writes documentation in the exact same on-disk format that the original OpenWiki CLI produces. That means a wiki generated or updated by this plugin can also be read or maintained by the standalone OpenWiki tool, and vice versa, so teams already using OpenWiki can keep using it while Claude Code users can adopt the same format without needing OpenWiki's separate inference key. The project reimplements OpenWiki's documentation methodology and file format based on the original langchain-ai/openwiki repository, and states it is not affiliated with or endorsed by LangChain. It is released under the MIT license.
