OpenWiki is a CLI that writes and maintains agent documentation for your codebase.

What openwiki is

OpenWiki turns your codebase and knowledge sources into a linked Markdown wiki that you own. Your coding agent can use it to understand a repository, answer questions, and find context across related projects. You can read the same pages or explore them as an interactive graph.
