Does it require a live server to host the documentation?

No, the generated site is a portable, offline-capable static site that can be opened directly in any modern browser.

Does it support private repositories?

Yes, it can process any local directory or remote repository you have access to, provided your Anthropic API key is configured.

Can I customize the look of the generated documentation?

The interactive site supports light, dark, and auto themes, and you can provide custom titles via the --site-title flag.

How does it handle very large codebases?

It includes specialized flags like --max-chunks and --batch-size to manage memory usage and API limits for repositories with thousands of files.

What makes Ted Mosby different from standard documentation generators?

Unlike traditional tools that only extract comments, Ted Mosby uses AI to generate high-level architectural summaries, data flow diagrams, and bridges them directly to implementation via file:line references.

Learning & Documentation

Generates comprehensive architectural documentation and interactive wikis with direct source code traceability for any codebase.

Ted Mosby is a specialized documentation engine designed to transform complex codebases into navigable, high-level architectural wikis. By bridging the gap between abstract design and concrete implementation, it creates detailed module guides, data flow diagrams, and Mermaid visualizations that link directly to specific source code lines. This skill is ideal for engineering teams needing to maintain a living source of truth for their system architecture or for developers looking to quickly understand the structural nuances of a new repository through a searchable, responsive static site.
