I Built an Open-Source AI Tool That Turns Any Codebase Into Deep Engineering Documentation (Runs 100% Locally)
Most engineering problems aren’t about writing code. Understanding code is harder than writing it. Onboarding a new developer. Taking over a legacy repository. Preparing proper knowledge transfer before someone exits. The code exists. The knowledge usually doesn’t. So I built something to fix that. 🚀 Introducing KT Studio KT Studio is an open-source, local-first web application that scans your repository and generates deep, structured engineering documentation using a local Ollama model. No cloud. No code uploads. No external APIs. Everything runs entirely on your machine. GitHub: https://github.com/tpmabdulkareem/KT-Studio 🧠 What It Actually Does KT Studio analyzes your project and generates a structured documentation site with: ✅ Architecture overview (with Mermaid diagrams) ✅ Quick start guide (real setup commands from your repo) ✅ API reference (parsed from routes) ✅ Database layer explanation ✅ Environment variable breakdown ✅ CI/CD & deployment notes ✅ AI integrations detection (
