Generate docs from a codebase

Turn a sealed codebase into READMEs, references, and diagrams with ArxDocs.

This guide generates documentation from a private codebase with ArxDocs. The source is read only inside the boundary.

1. Generate

arxcode docs ./my-service --output ./docs

ArxDocs reads your code inside the seal and produces structured documentation — a README, an API reference, and architecture notes.

Generate internal-only or public-facing docs from the same source:

arxcode docs ./my-service --audience public

ArxDocs can render flowcharts, architecture, and data-model diagrams alongside the prose — useful for onboarding and design review.

Export to Markdown, Confluence, or PDF in one action:

arxcode docs ./my-service --export markdown

Nothing retained

As with every build, the source is destroyed when generation completes — only the documentation you export persists.
