Two updates to Writulos, both addressing a real gap in the current workflow.
... Documentation tends to go stale silently. A file changes, the docs do not, and nobody notices until the docs are actively misleading.
Writulos
now tracks this. Each file shows how many commits it has drifted from its last generated documentation, so outdated docs are visible before they cause confusion. This adds no extra cost and requires no setup. 2. Technical docs and Plain English explanations serve developers and clients well, but neither is written for the people who actually ... ... product.

Would you actually use AI-generated plain English explanations of your code for collaborators?
...
Writulos
already auto-generates technical docs on every push via GitHub Actions. We're now exploring expanding it beyond developers. The idea: every file in your codebase can also generate a plain English version. Not code docs, but a "here's what this does" explanation for a client, a product manager, a design partner, or a new teammate who doesn't read code. Example output for auth.ts: "This file handles login validation. It checks credentials, creates a session token ...

Writulos
. Just one step in your workflow YAML and docs get generated automatically on every push, PR, or release. No context switching, no manual updates. Would love feedback from anyone who's tried baking doc generation into their CI pipeline. Comment from Harlow Grace(@harlow_grace1): @neville_mathew Looks useful. Can you choose which folders or files it scans? Comment from Neville Mathew(@neville_mathew): @harlow_grace1 Yes, that's on our roadmap ... ... able to specify which folders or files

What's your go-to way to keep docs in sync with your code?
... Documentation has a way of going stale the moment code changes. Curious how teams here handle it. Is it manual updates, doc generators, CI hooks, something else? Interested in what actually works at scale
vs
. what sounds good in theory. Comment from Brian Pond(@brian_pond): Until recently, my answer would have been: "We handle this very poorly." Documentation is rarely prioritized and updated. It's kind of a trope that it gets neglected, along with Testing, Security, and Reporting ... ... continuously update docs with every commit. ADRs, Design Docs, Requirements Functional and Technical Code documentation User-facing documentation All of it quite a bit easier now. Comment from Neville Mathew(@neville_mathew): @brian_pond That s the gap
