The vibe code society would benefit way more if libraries hosted their docs in a way that's easy to copy and paste into an LLM.


Karpathy nerdbaited me on this last week! I'm almost done with aidocs and aidd.

The aidocs server: keeps track of generated llm-friendly docs for any github repo.

The aidocs daemon (aidd) is resident, and can watch a repo, find imports in a number of languages, request the docs from aidocs, serve them up in mcp, and/or put them into a directory in your repo. Planning on generating docs for a codebase and incremental docs creation later.

I could use a couple beta testers -- lmk if you're interested. macos for now, although the daemon is written in go and should be portable.


Hey, I'm definitely interested, but I'm not on MacOS. Please let me know though if there is a GitHub repo I can star or perhaps even send a PR (e.g. no reason for it to only work on MacOS, right?).


What OS do you want? Linux is an obvious next target and “should be” “easy”. :) I’d be happy to have a Linux tester. Windows would be last I think.


I use WSL so yeah, primarily Linux, but I would also be willing to help with Windows if necessary.


many docs now include llms.txt https://llmstxt.org/


I saw that but it doesn't work for me. I use Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview right now, and it cannot fetch content from links. What I am looking for is a large text file with public API class, function, etc. signatures, plain text documentation and code examples.



Depends on the library I guess, I spent 12~ hours today vibe coding with LiveKit and their /llms.txt is https://docs.livekit.io/llms.txt


thanks for the feedback. let us see how we can organize this better for compat with diff LLMs.


what i do if no good llms txt is to download the whole docs from gh or website and keep the MD files available to my agent via a small mcp server
