Openrewrite Rewrite Docs
openrewrite-rewrite-docs is a Claude Code plugin for the Build phase that exposes the markdown corpus behind docs.openrewrite.org so agents can work from authoritative OpenRewrite recipe documentation.

What it does
openrewrite-rewrite-docs is a Claude Code plugin entry tied to OpenRewrite’s documentation repository—the markdown that generates docs.openrewrite.org. Solo builders rarely need this unless they are automating JVM or polyglot migrations with OpenRewrite recipes and want agents to cite accurate, versioned doc content while authoring or applying recipes. The catalog listing is documentation-centric: one plugin in the bundle, keywords around OpenRewrite and recipes, not a full migration runner by itself. Use it when your agent workflow includes explaining Spring upgrades, dependency bumps, or organizational codemods and you want the same source the official site uses. It is niche compared with general coding plugins; pairing it with OpenRewrite runtime tooling in your repo is expected. Beginners exploring a greenfield SaaS should skip it; maintainers of legacy services evaluating recipe-driven refactors benefit most.
Highlights
- Source markdown for docs.openrewrite.org in one repository
- OpenRewrite recipe documentation aligned with the rewrite engine
- Single-plugin bundle focused on docs and recipe catalog context
- Community-maintained reference for automated refactoring workflows
Why builders use it
When you automate large refactors with OpenRewrite, agents hallucinate recipe names and options because they lack the real docs source.
After you add the plugin, Claude can ground migration and recipe answers in the same markdown that publishes the official OpenRewrite documentation site.
