{"id":93514,"title":"AUTODOC: Open-source AI writing your Javadoc","tagline":"open-source ai writing your javadoc","body":"\\\nWriting consistent Javadoc is tedious, and even AI coding assistants often skip or misfire on it. **Autodoc** automates the boring part: it scans your PRs, understands your code, and generates high-quality Javadoc so you don’t have to.\n\n## **Key Features**\n\n* ✨ **Understands Your Code** – Skips trivial getters and setters, focusing only on meaningful docs\n* 🔄 **PR-Native** – Runs on pull requests, adds docs in a clean commit.\n* 🎯 **Team-Ready** – Customize prompts for your standards.\n* 🚀 **Open Source** – Install, use, and improve it on GitHub.\n\nSo how does it actually work?\n\n## **How It Works**\n\nOpen a PR, and Autodoc gets to work. It scans the changed Java files, **adds contextual Javadoc where it’s missing**, and pushes a separate commit with the docs. **Reviewers see the docs right inside the PR and can refine them like any other code.**\n\n## **Get Started**\n\n👉[ Get started with Autodoc on GitHub](https://github.com/manycore-com/JavadocGithubAction?utm_source=chatgpt.com)\n\n_(Requires a valid Claude API account.)_\\\n\\\nBlog post: [https://deviantabstraction.com/2025/08/29/autodoc-ai-writing-your-javadoc](https://deviantabstraction.com/2025/08/29/autodoc-ai-writing-your-javadoc/%5C)\\\nGithub Repo: https://github.com/manycore-com/JavadocGithubAction","slug":"OKI-autodoc-open-source-ai-writing-your-javadoc","created_at":"2025-09-02T18:38:30.015Z","updated_at":"2026-05-24T01:09:11.566Z","total_vote_count":7,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OKI-autodoc-open-source-ai-writing-your-javadoc","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":1510,"name":"FastJVM","slug":"fastjvm","url":"https://fastjvm.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/d20c1dd1d05527f51041212802e5e737587823ff.png","batch":"Winter 2017","industry":"B2B","tags":["DevOps","Cloud Computing"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/1510"}}
