Generate Go README, package documentation, and architecture diagrams automatically. Codec8 respects Go conventions and produces docs that look like they were written by the pkg.go.dev team.
Go has godoc built in, but godoc only covers exported symbols and requires you to be online. You still need a human-readable README, architecture overview, and contributor guide that go beyond what godoc can produce.

Yes. Codec8 reads your go.mod and go.sum to determine module paths, dependencies, and minimum Go version, incorporating this into setup instructions.
Codec8 handles pure Go projects and CGO projects. For CGO it documents the C dependencies required, platform constraints, and build tag requirements.
By default, Codec8 focuses on exported symbols to match Go convention. Internal/unexported functions are documented in a separate "Architecture" section for contributors.
