Daipendency

Daipendency extracts public API documentation from a library and outputs it in an LLM-friendly format. The endgame is to provide AI coding agents with all the context they need to use a particular dependency, but for now you can just use it manually on the CLI.

This project was inspired by Aider's repository map.

Features

• Outputs public symbols (e.g. functions) only.
• Outputs function signatures and documentation, but not the implementation.
• Only supports Rust for now, but any language supported by tree-sitter can be supported.
• Reads the source code directly, so it doesn't process the HTML of the generated documentation, thus keeping the output clean.

CLI Usage

To extract the documentation from a library, pass the name of the language and the path to the library. For example:

daipendency rust /path/to/library

Library Usage

use daipendency::{generate_documentation, Language};
use std::path::Path;

let path = Path::new("/path/to/crate");
match generate_documentation(Language::Rust, path) {
    Ok(output) => println!("{}", output),
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
}
