Ovellum

Ovellum is a local documentation tool for TypeScript and JavaScript that keeps auto-generated API docs and hand-written narrative in sync, exposed over stdio.

What you can do

• The manifest lists no tools, so capabilities come from the description and README.
• Ovellum is an open-source documentation tool for TypeScript and JavaScript projects.
• It combines auto-generated API documentation with hand-written narrative in the same files without conflict.
• It supports auto, manual, or hybrid documentation modes that stay in sync.

When to use it

Worth considering when you maintain TypeScript or JavaScript code and want API reference docs generated from source to sit alongside hand-written explanations, so documentation does not drift from the code.

Requirements

Runs as a local process over stdio, installed from the npm package ovellum, so a Node.js environment is needed. No authentication, environment variables, or headers are declared.
