An automated knowledge layerthat keeps pace with your code.
Canon connects to your repositories, watches change, and drafts the missing context your team depends on — service pages, runbooks, system maps, and decision notes. You review what matters, and the knowledge stays current without a separate doc project.
Grounded
Links back to diffs and owners.
Current
Updates follow code changes.
Reviewable
You approve what is canonical.
How Canon keeps knowledge alive
Canon is the layer between what engineers do and what everyone needs to know. It captures context at the moment of change and keeps it tied to the source.
1. Watch file changes.
2. Draft updates in plain language, linked to code.
3. Route changes for review, then publish where your team works.
Service pages
Owners, health, dependencies, and how to operate.
Every page stays linked to code paths and on-call rotations so it stays trustworthy.
Runbooks
Step-by-step guidance that matches reality.
Canon updates checks and playbooks as systems evolve, before incidents happen.
System maps
Views that reflect how services interact.
Dependency views stay in sync without anyone redrawing diagrams.
Change narratives
Decisions captured while they’re fresh.
Summaries connect the “why” behind a change to the “what” in the repo.
Stop losing context
Start small: connect a repo and let Canon draft the first pages your team will reuse.
