Getting Started
What is CodeFlowOps and how does it work?
CodeFlowOps is an AI-powered documentation engine that automatically creates professional, comprehensive documentation from your GitHub repositories. Simply connect your repository, and our advanced AI analyzes your code to generate up to 17 well-structured documentation sections in under 60 seconds. It supports Markdown preview and PDF export formats.
How do I generate my first documentation?
Getting started is simple: 1) Sign in with your GitHub account. 2) Enter any public GitHub repository URL (or private repo if on Pro/Team plan). 3) Click 'Generate Documentation' and receive professional docs in under 60 seconds. 4) Preview in Markdown or download as PDF. No installation or configuration required.
Do I need to install anything to use CodeFlowOps?
No installation required! CodeFlowOps is a fully cloud-based documentation engine. Simply access our web application through your browser, sign in with GitHub, and you're ready to generate documentation. This means you can create documentation from any device, anywhere.
Which programming languages does CodeFlowOps support?
CodeFlowOps supports all major programming languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Go, Ruby, PHP, C++, Swift, Kotlin, Rust, and more. Our AI is trained to understand code patterns, syntax, and documentation conventions across diverse programming languages and frameworks.
What are the 17 documentation sections?
CodeFlowOps generates comprehensive documentation covering: 1) Executive Summary, 2) System Architecture, 3) Data Architecture, 4) Core Features & Workflows, 5) API Reference, 6) Security Architecture, 7) Development Guide, 8) DevOps & Infrastructure, 9) Testing Strategy, 10) Monitoring & Observability, 11) Performance Optimization, 12) Disaster Recovery, 13) Compliance & Governance, 14) Cost Management, 15) Team & Processes, 16) Appendices, and 17) Future Roadmap.
Features & Capabilities
What documentation formats can CodeFlowOps generate?
CodeFlowOps generates documentation in two professional formats: Markdown (.md) for viewing and editing directly in the web app, and PDF for professional distribution, printing, and sharing with stakeholders. Pro users get access to the Executive PDF format with enhanced styling.
What is Adaptive Documentation?
Adaptive Documentation is our smart feature that automatically adjusts the documentation size and complexity based on your repository. Small projects get concise, focused documentation while enterprise codebases receive comprehensive 17-section coverage. This ensures you get appropriately sized docs without configuration.
What is Drift Detection?
Drift Detection (Pro and Team plans) monitors your repository for changes and alerts you when your documentation becomes outdated. It compares your current codebase with the last generated documentation and notifies you of significant changes that should be reflected in updated docs.
Can I integrate CodeFlowOps with my CI/CD pipeline?
Yes! Team plan users get access to our GitHub Action for CI/CD integration. Automatically regenerate documentation on every push, pull request, or release. This ensures your documentation stays synchronized with your code without manual intervention.
How accurate is the AI-generated documentation?
Our AI achieves high accuracy by analyzing code structure, comments, function signatures, file organization, and naming conventions. It understands context and generates human-readable explanations. The documentation is reviewed by our AI quality system to ensure consistency and accuracy across all sections.
Can I customize the branding on my documentation?
Yes! Pro and Team plan users can add custom branding to their generated documentation. This includes your company logo, custom colors, and personalized headers. Team plan users additionally get white-label options for client-facing documentation.
Pricing & Plans
Is there a free plan available?
Yes! Our Free plan lets you generate documentation for public repositories with adaptive documentation sizing, Markdown preview, and PDF export. It's perfect for open-source projects and trying out CodeFlowOps before upgrading.
What's included in the Pro plan?
The Pro plan ($19/month) unlocks private repository access, full 17-section documentation, Executive PDF export with professional formatting, Drift Detection for keeping docs current, custom branding options, and priority support. Ideal for professional developers and small teams.
What's included in the Team plan?
The Team plan ($49/month) includes everything in Pro plus Slack integration for notifications, GitHub Action for CI/CD automation, white-label documentation for clients, team collaboration features, and dedicated support. Perfect for agencies and development teams.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your CodeFlowOps subscription at any time with no cancellation fees. If you cancel, you'll retain access to your current plan until the end of your billing period. You can also downgrade to the Free plan to continue generating docs for public repos.
Do you offer annual billing discounts?
Yes! Annual billing saves you approximately 17% compared to monthly billing. Pro annual is $190/year (vs $228 monthly) and Team annual is $490/year (vs $588 monthly). Contact us for custom enterprise pricing.
Technical & Integration
How do I connect my GitHub account?
Click 'Sign in with GitHub' on our homepage or generator page. You'll be redirected to GitHub to authorize CodeFlowOps. We request minimal permissions - just enough to read your repository contents. Once authorized, you can generate documentation for any accessible repository.
Does CodeFlowOps store my source code?
No, we prioritize your security and privacy. CodeFlowOps processes your code during documentation generation but doesn't permanently store your source code. We only retain the generated documentation that you choose to save. All data transmission is encrypted with TLS.
Can I use CodeFlowOps with private repositories?
Yes! Private repository access is available on Pro ($19/mo) and Team ($49/mo) plans. When you connect your GitHub account, you can grant access to private repositories. All code processing is secure, encrypted, and your private code is never stored long-term.
How does Slack integration work?
Team plan users can connect CodeFlowOps to Slack. You'll receive notifications when documentation is generated, when Drift Detection finds outdated docs, and when team members make changes. Configure which events trigger notifications in your Settings dashboard.
What is the GitHub Action CI/CD integration?
Team plan users can add our GitHub Action to their workflows. It automatically generates fresh documentation on events like push to main, pull request merge, or release creation. The action can commit updated docs back to your repo or upload them as artifacts.
Best Practices
How can I improve the quality of generated documentation?
To get the best results: 1) Include clear, descriptive comments in your code. 2) Use meaningful variable and function names. 3) Follow consistent coding conventions. 4) Add JSDoc/docstrings for functions and classes. 5) Organize code logically with clear file structure. 6) Include a README.md with project context.
Should I review AI-generated documentation before publishing?
Yes, we recommend reviewing generated documentation, especially for critical or customer-facing projects. While CodeFlowOps produces high-quality docs, a quick review ensures project-specific context, terminology, and requirements are accurately reflected. Most users find this review takes 10-15 minutes.
How often should I regenerate documentation?
Best practice is to regenerate documentation whenever you make significant code changes, add new features, or release updates. With Drift Detection (Pro/Team), you'll be alerted when docs become outdated. With CI/CD integration (Team), this happens automatically.
Can I edit the generated documentation?
Yes! The Markdown preview in our web app allows you to view and copy the generated documentation. You can then edit it in any text editor or IDE. For PDF exports, you can regenerate with different settings or edit the Markdown source before exporting.
Support & Security
Is my data secure with CodeFlowOps?
Security is our top priority. CodeFlowOps uses industry-standard encryption (TLS for data in transit), secure authentication via GitHub OAuth, and runs on AWS infrastructure with SOC 2 compliance. We never sell or share your data, and you maintain full ownership of your code and documentation.
What kind of support do you offer?
Free plan users have access to our documentation and community support. Pro plan users receive priority email support with faster response times. Team plan includes priority support plus dedicated assistance for CI/CD setup and integration help.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes, we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. If you're not satisfied with CodeFlowOps within the first 14 days of your subscription, contact our support team for a full refund.
How do I access my documentation history?
Your dashboard shows all previously generated documentation. You can view, download, or regenerate any past documentation. Pro and Team users get extended history retention. Access your dashboard at codeflowops.com/dashboard after signing in.
What happens to my docs if I downgrade or cancel?
Your previously generated documentation remains accessible for download. If you downgrade from a paid plan, you'll lose access to premium features like private repo support and Drift Detection, but can still generate docs for public repositories on the Free plan.
