Private intelligence, not a CMS or a price race.

ShipDocs is the trusted fully automated docs system: sync applies by default, every change is auditable, and every plan includes encryption, cited chat, insights, and agent context. Built to outclass CodeSummary-style auto-docs and complement Mintlify's publishing workflow.
