Installation

Install Conotion AI CLI globally using npm. The CLI provides powerful commands for intelligent code analysis and documentation generation.

npm install -g @conotion/cli

Configuration (optional)

If you want to setup a project for more precision you can run the following command

conotion init

This will create a .json file that will contain your usage preferences on Conotion CLI but you can skip this step

First Run

Initialize your project and run your first AI-powered documentation generation. The CLI will analyze your codebase and create comprehensive docs.

conotion --smart

This mode allows you to link your files if certain functions or elements are shared between the files, but the generation takes a little longer.
