When the code moves, the docs follow

ZAR reads each pull request and proposes the smallest doc change that makes the page true again. Stale lines go red, synced lines go green.

Features

Everything to keep your docs alive

Codebase understanding

Tree-sitter AST parsing reads structure, signatures, and symbols, not just text diffs.

def process_event(repo, diff):    tree = parse(repo)        # tree-sitter AST    return changed_symbols(tree, diff)

Auto-documentation

Docs written from your actual code. Minimal diffs, and never invented facts.

Always in sync

Every pull request triggers a check, so docs update with the code across repos.

Multilingual

Keep .mdx and Nextra docs consistent across languages, such as English and Kazakh.

GitHub-native

Runs as a GitHub App. Comments, checks, and labels inside your review flow.

Build-in-public, soon

Real quotes are on the way. These slots are placeholders, not invented reviews.
