About DevMem
Auto codebase documentation.Change capture on every commit.Changelog management
DevMem : Auto-Maintaining Documentation & Changelog for Codebases Developers have a context window too. And it's getting smaller. Modern software grows fast. AI-assisted development grows faster. Every pull request, every AI-generated function, every refactor adds layers that no single engineer can hold in their head. The codebase your team wrote six months ago is already a foreign country. The rise of AI coding tools makes this worse, not better. AI slop - code generated quickly, merged faster, understood by no one - accumulates silently. Without a system that captures what changed, why it changed, and how it fits into the whole, your codebase becomes archaeology. Documentation written once is documentation that lies. The only documentation that stays true is documentation written at the moment of every change - automatically, tied to the commit that caused it. SOLUTION : One command. Living documentation. Version-controlled, always accurate. "It's like version controlling your documentation throughout your code - one arrow, two solutions." DevMem watches your git commits and automatically updates your architectural documentation, your module docs, and your changelog - every time. It uses AI to understand what changed and why, then writes it down so your future self (and your team) actually has a chance. HOW IT WORKS Three commands. Complete memory. 01 devmem initCrawl & Document DevMem crawls your entire codebase, detects module boundaries, and generates architectural documentation for every module in parallel - using AI to understand structure, not just list files. 02 devmem captureCapture Every Change On every git commit, DevMem reads the diff, identifies which modules changed, and surgically updates their documentation. A changelog entry is written with the commit hash as its ID - permanently linking code history to documentation history. 03 devmem query "..."Ask Your Codebase Ask natural language questions grounded in your living documentation. Which modules depend on the database? How does authentication work? What changed in the last sprint? DevMem answers from context, not hallucination. WHY DEVMEM Built for how developers actually work. Language agnostic Works on any codebase - Go, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Ruby. DevMem reads structure and git history, not syntax trees. Parallel analysis Module documentation is generated concurrently. A 20-module codebase takes the same time as a 3-module one. Git-native changelog Every changelog entry ID is a commit hash. Documentation history and code history are permanently linked - no drift, no orphans. Surgical updates On capture, only the sections that changed are rewritten. Unchanged documentation is never touched - no noise, no false diffs. Offline first Your documentation lives in .devmem/ inside your repo. It is git-tracked, diffable, and readable without any external service. Ask your codebase The query command gives every developer on your team an AI answer grounded in real, current documentation - not hallucinated from training data.
