What it does
- Automatically extracts architectural decisions and patterns from Git commits
- Maintains a living, structured project memory accessible by AI
- Supports temporal awareness and memory reinforcement
- Tracks evolution of decisions to keep context clean
- Enables cross-project knowledge retrieval

Analyze any public GitHub repository into structured JSON.
Best for Quickly auditing the tech stack and dependencies of an open-source project before integration.
Analyze any public GitHub repository into structured JSON. No AI, no LLMs — fully deterministic.
Give it a repo, get back tech stack, dependencies, architecture, health metrics, and security signals in clean, consistent JSON. Use it as a Python library, CLI tool, REST API, or MCP server.
What it does
- Deterministic analysis of GitHub repositories without AI or LLMs
- Detects tech stack, runtime, package managers, and key dependencies
- Provides health metrics including commit frequency and maintenance status
- Identifies architecture details like CI/CD platforms and test frameworks
- Performs security checks such as branch protection and security policy presence
