## Description

Witr is a developer productivity tool designed to automate the creation and maintenance of technical documentation. By functioning as a static analysis documentation generator, it synchronizes project manuals with evolving codebases to ensure that technical information remains accurate and current throughout the software development lifecycle.

The tool utilizes an abstract syntax tree parser to extract metadata and function signatures directly from source code. This data is processed through a configuration-driven rule engine and merged into predefined templates, allowing for consistent formatting across documentation files. To maintain efficiency, the system supports incremental build processing and monitors file-system changes to trigger updates only for modified code segments.

This utility integrates into development workflows to reduce manual maintenance overhead by automating repetitive documentation tasks. It provides a structured pipeline for managing project metadata and ensuring that documentation remains aligned with the underlying source code structure.
