CodeAlmanac
A living wiki for your codebase, maintained by AI coding agents.
CodeAlmanac gives AI agents the context code alone cannot hold: why a system is shaped the way it is, what broke before, which invariants matter, and how workflows cross files and services. The wiki is plain markdown in your repo, indexed locally, and reviewed in Git like any other code change.
Supported today: macOS with Codex or Claude Code. Requires Python 3.12+.
