Dosu

What is Dosu?

Dosu is knowledge infrastructure for coding agents and software teams. Its MCP server captures knowledge in the background during agent sessions and turns that activity into shared team memory. The goal is to reduce repeated prompting and investigation while making agent work faster, less expensive, and more consistent across sessions.

Dosu also reviews code changes for documentation gaps and can maintain repository documents such as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and skill definitions. Existing knowledge can remain in tools such as repositories, Notion, Confluence, or Coda. Team members can ask Dosu questions or request documentation from Slack, Microsoft Teams, or an IDE.

How to Use Dosu

1. Install Dosu in the development environment and connect GitHub or GitLab.
2. Sync existing documentation from repositories or knowledge tools.
3. Add Dosu to team communication channels or supported IDE workflows.
4. Continue normal coding and agent sessions while Dosu captures reusable context.
5. Review automatically identified documentation gaps and proposed updates.

Core Features

• Automatic knowledge capture: Builds team memory during coding-agent sessions.
• MCP server: Supplies shared project context to compatible agents and tools.
• Documentation maintenance: Detects stale or missing docs after code changes and updates repository guidance.
• Cross-tool sync: Works with repositories, Notion, Confluence, Coda, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.
• Team Q&A: Answers troubleshooting and project-context questions from collaboration tools or an IDE.
• Human context: Helps reviewers communicate standards and implementation guidance back to agents.

Use Cases

• Coding-agent context: Give agents reusable knowledge about architecture, conventions, and past decisions.
• Self-documenting pull requests: Identify and repair documentation gaps as code changes.
• Engineering Q&A: Answer recurring implementation and troubleshooting questions.
• Onboarding: Help developers and agents understand a codebase without repeating the same investigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Dosu replace existing documentation tools?

No. It can sync and maintain knowledge where it already lives rather than requiring a migration.

Can Dosu maintain agent instruction files?

Yes. The site specifically names AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and skill definitions.

How does Dosu gather knowledge?

Its MCP server captures reusable context in the background during coding-agent sessions, while connected repositories and communication tools provide additional sources.
