01
Detect the change
Specify reads code and API changes to find what could affect your documentation.
Code is today,documentation is yesterday.
We read code changes, find affected docs, and prepare updates for your review.
Code-document sync
Documentation should not fall behind the code.
See the affected documents and the reason for every suggested change in one place.
02
Draft the update
It links the relevant document and explains what should change and why.
03
Review, then apply
A person reviews the proposal, and only approved changes reach the latest document.
Developer documentation
Start with the documents that drift most often.
Keep your existing tools and workflow, and connect the documents that are hardest to keep current.
API and developer docs
Keep endpoints, request examples, and response fields aligned with the code that defines them.
Quality and compliance docs
Preserve the reason behind updates to feature descriptions, test evidence, and requirement traces.
Release and operations docs
Prepare recurring release changes and operational guidance from the source code.
FAQ
Know what to expect before you start.
What does Specify do?
Specify reads code changes, finds the developer documentation they affect, and drafts updates. Every proposal includes its reason so a person can review it before applying.
Does it change documents automatically?
No. Specify proposes an update first. A teammate reviews the change and its evidence, and the document changes only after approval.
Which documents can I start with?
It works well for API references, developer guides, quality and compliance documents, and release notes that change alongside code.
Do we need to replace our development workflow?
No. You can keep your existing repository and documentation flow. A pilot starts with one document type and a review process that fits your team.
Try it with your team's documents.
Use Specify in a workspace now, or define a focused pilot around your current developer documentation.
