What is OpenDocs?

OpenDocs (by ioteverythin) takes a GitHub repository README and automatically generates beautiful, professional documentation in multiple formats:

Two Modes

  1. Basic (Deterministic) โ€” Pure Markdown AST parsing, no LLM required. Fast, free, predictable.
  2. LLM (AI-Powered) โ€” Uses OpenAI to extract entities, build knowledge graphs, and generate executive summaries + stakeholder views (CTO, Investor, Developer).

Quick Start

Install from PyPI

pip install opendocs

For LLM features:

pip install opendocs[llm]

Install from source

git clone https://github.com/ioteverythin/OpenDocs.git
cd OpenDocs
pip install -e ".[dev,llm]"

Usage

CLI:

# Generate all formats from a GitHub README
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo

# Generate specific format with a theme
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo --format word --theme ocean

# Generate blog post only
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo --format blog

# Generate Jira tickets from README
opendocs generate ./README.md --local --format jira

# Generate LaTeX academic paper
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo --format latex

# Generate executive one-pager PDF
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo --format onepager

# Generate social media cards & post text
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo --format social

# Generate architecture diagrams (system, tech stack, data flow, deps, deployment)
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo --format architecture

# Generate changelog / release notes
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo --format changelog

# From a local README file
opendocs generate ./README.md --local

# LLM mode with knowledge graph + stakeholder summaries
opendocs generate ./README.md --local --mode llm --api-key sk-...

# Specify output directory
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo -o ./my-docs

# List available themes
opendocs themes

Python API:

from opendocs.pipeline import Pipeline

pipeline = Pipeline()
pipeline.run(
    "https://github.com/owner/repo",
    theme_name="ocean",
    mode="llm",
    api_key="sk-...",
)

Format Flags Reference

Use -f / --format to generate only what you need:

Flag Output File
word Word document .docx
pdf PDF document .pdf
pptx PowerPoint deck .pptx
blog SEO blog post .md (with front-matter)
jira Jira tickets (Epic + Stories) .json
changelog Release notes .md
latex IEEE-style academic paper .tex
onepager Executive one-pager .pdf
social Social cards + post text .json (OG, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit)
architecture Architecture diagrams (5 views) .mmd + .png + .md report
all Everything above (default) all formats

CLI examples:

# Single format
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo -f jira

# Default generates ALL formats
opendocs generate https://github.com/owner/repo

Python API โ€” pick your formats:

from opendocs.pipeline import Pipeline
from opendocs.core.models import OutputFormat

pipeline = Pipeline()

# Generate only Jira tickets
pipeline.run(
    "https://github.com/owner/repo",
    formats=[OutputFormat.JIRA],
)

# Generate blog + social cards
pipeline.run(
    "https://github.com/owner/repo",
    formats=[OutputFormat.BLOG, OutputFormat.SOCIAL],

    formats=[OutputFormat.WORD, OutputFormat.PDF, OutputFormat.PPTX],
)

# Generate architecture diagrams only
pipeline.run(
    "https://github.com/owner/repo",
    formats=[OutputFormat.ARCHITECTURE],
)

# All available OutputFormat values:
# OutputFormat.WORD, OutputFormat.PDF, OutputFormat.PPTX,
