What Codebase Wiki does

Codebase Wiki guides agents in generating and refreshing a source-grounded, version-controlled wiki of a codebase, with per-folder rules, freshness and log discipline, and audience/depth knobs. Use when the project has a wiki/ knowledge base or when asked to generate or refresh a wiki of the codebase.

Codebase Wiki is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Codebase Wiki comes from a repository tagged 2nd-brain, agent-skills, claude, codex and company-brain.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Codebase Wiki pack — how to work here

This project holds an agent-authored wiki of a codebase — DeepWiki, but living in the repo. A coding agent reads the source and writes a navigable, diagram-rich, source-grounded wiki as markdown under wiki/. It is version-controlled and diffable, private by default, human+agent co-editable, renders in OK's live preview, and doubles as durable grounding context for future agent sessions. There is no separate Q&A surface — Q&A is "the OK-grounded agent + search".

This skill is pack guidance. The platform /open-knowledge skill (read/write/preview/linking/grounding rules) still governs every markdown operation — this layers the wiki workflow on top.

Frequently asked about Codebase Wiki

What else does inkeep publish alongside Codebase Wiki?
Codebase Wiki is one of 18 skills that DirSkills catalogs from inkeep/open-knowledge, the repository it ships in. Its siblings there include Consolidate Notes, Frame a Proposal and Knowledge Base. Each one is a separate skill with its own page in this directory, installs the same way Codebase Wiki does, and is maintained by inkeep in that same repository. The rest of the collection is listed on the inkeep/open-knowledge page.
How does Codebase Wiki compare to other AI Engineering skills?
Codebase Wiki ranks #604 by stars among the 2451 AI Engineering skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Architecture Decision Records, AI-First Engineering and Agentic OS. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of Codebase Wiki against them.
