Keep a wiki of your codebase that updates after every merge

SHIP writes a wiki of your architecture, modules and conventions as Markdown in your repository. It updates the pages a merge changes, through a pull request you review.

For: Developers joining or maintaining a codebase nobody fully remembers.
Instead of: A docs folder last updated by someone who left.

Runs today: Schedule an automation with your own documentation prompt, and each run opens a pull request that updates your docs on the cadence you set.

How it works

Generate it once, then let merges update it

Step 1

Point SHIP at a repository

SHIP reads the code and writes an overview, one page per module, and the conventions it finds. The first version arrives as a pull request.

Step 2

Review it like code

Edit the pages, delete what is wrong and merge. Every later change to the wiki goes through review the same way.

Step 3

Let merges keep it current

After a merge, SHIP updates only the pages that change touched, in a small pull request you approve.

Capabilities

Give your agents the same briefing as your engineers

Brief every mission from the wiki

The Planner reads the relevant pages before it plans a change, so missions start from what your team agreed.

Link every page to the code

Each page links to the files it describes, so a reader can check a sentence against the source.

Own every page

The wiki is Markdown in your repository, and it stays there if you stop using SHIP.

Choose the model that writes it

Pick the harness and model for the wiki, on your own keys, billed at your own rates.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the codebase wiki available today?

Not yet: the generated wiki that updates after every merge is in early access. Today, schedule an automation with your own documentation prompt, and each run opens a pull request that updates your docs on the cadence you set.

Automations API

Where does the wiki live?

SHIP's codebase wiki lives in your own repository as Markdown, in a folder you choose. Anything that renders Markdown can show it.

When is Devin's DeepWiki or Factory's AutoWiki the better fit?

Devin fits a team that wants a generated wiki its agent also uses to answer questions about the code, through DeepWiki and Ask Devin. Factory fits a team that wants AutoWiki pages regenerated by CI on every push to the default branch, optionally synced to the repository's GitHub Wiki. SHIP fits when each wiki change should arrive as a pull request your team reviews before it merges.

Do SHIP's agents read my repository's docs today?

Yes: on every mission the Planner, Reviewer and Tester read your repository's CLAUDE.md, including an AGENTS.md it imports with a bare @AGENTS.md line. A file at .ship/agents/<role>.md adds conventions for one role.
