Analyze any Git repository with AI. Point it at a repo and ask questions about the codebase.

Example prompts by use case:

Understanding Architecture:

• repo: "nginx/nginx", prompt: "How does nginx handle concurrent connections? Walk through the event loop, worker process model, and connection state transitions."

Integration and API Usage:

• repo: "hashicorp/terraform", prompt: "How do I implement a custom provider? What interfaces does the SDK expose, how are CRUD operations mapped to the resource lifecycle?"

Debugging and Troubleshooting:

• repo: "docker/compose", prompt: "How does Compose resolve service dependencies and startup order? What happens with depends_on and health check conditions?"

Security Review:

• repo: "redis/redis", prompt: "Review the ACL security model. How are per-user command permissions enforced, and how does AUTH prevent privilege escalation?"

Code Quality and Evaluation:

• repo: "vitejs/vite", prompt: "How does Vite's plugin system compare to Rollup's? What are the Vite-specific hooks and tradeoffs?"

Deep Technical Analysis:

• repo: "ggml-org/llama.cpp", prompt: "How does the KV cache work during autoregressive generation? How are past key-value pairs stored, reused, and evicted?"

Migration Planning (with ref — Pro/Max plans only):

• repo: "mui/material-ui", ref: "v4.12.0", prompt: "Document the Button component's full API surface — every prop, its type, default value, and behavior."

• repo: "mui/material-ui", ref: "v5.0.0", prompt: "Document the Button component's full API surface — every prop, its type, default value, and behavior." (Compare both results to build a migration guide between v4 and v5)

• repo: "kubernetes/kubernetes", ref: "release-1.29", prompt: "How does the scheduler's scoring and filtering pipeline work for pod placement?"

Ask detailed, specific questions — the tool returns real function signatures, parameter types, return values, and source citations with exact file paths and line numbers.

If you hit a rate limit (429), the user's monthly token credits are exhausted — they can wait for the reset or upgrade their plan. Free-tier repos larger than 2 GB will be rejected with a 413 error; suggest upgrading to Pro or Max for unlimited repo size.
