System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Fetch and contextualize a GitHub repository for future reference by producing a structured, searchable summary of the repo's purpose, key files, and context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contextualizes repository contents into a concise summary including repo name, purpose, and notable files.
  • Accepts input as a full URL, user/repo, or a canonical repo name; supports optional filters and branch selection; can operate on private repos with a GitHub PAT.
  • Outputs a deterministic artifact to docs/reference/<owner>-<repo>.txt and reports the repo name, purpose, file location, and filters applied.

Quick Start

Provide a GitHub URL or user/repo to generate a contextual repository summary in the docs/reference directory.
