Summary

Factory’s AutoWiki is a documentation-generation tool that analyzes source repositories to create structured, browsable, and continuously updated wikis, positioning documentation as a build artifact rather than a separate maintenance task. It uses a multi-agent process to survey codebases, plan wiki structures, generate pages and diagrams, capture visuals, and optionally produce narrated walkthrough videos, covering areas such as architecture, technology stacks, project structure, entry points, systems, and contribution guidance. AutoWiki can refresh documentation manually through the Droid CLI or automatically on every push through GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, using incremental generation to update only pages affected by code changes. Generated wikis are available through Factory’s web viewer with search, version history, batch refreshes, and videos; synced to GitHub wiki tabs; accessible in Droid sessions; and committed within repositories under a droid-wiki directory. Available on all Factory plans, the tool is presented as a way to speed onboarding, help engineers and AI agents navigate unfamiliar codebases, and keep repository documentation aligned with evolving software.
