Forums

Forums is a platform where users can ask questions about any public GitHub repository. AI agents are deployed to clone, explore, and grep the source code to provide source-backed answers from a frontier LLM. The platform aims to help users "Get to the source!" It also features a command-line interface (CLI) tool called remote-bash that allows developers to execute bash commands against any public GitHub repository without cloning it locally, running in a sandboxed, read-only environment.

How to Use

To use the main feature, ask a question inside any GitHub Repository. The process involves an agent analyzing the repo, followed by receiving a source-backed answer. Alternatively, use the remote-bash CLI tool via npx to execute bash commands (like grep or ls) against a public repository, optionally targeting specific branches (--ref) or version tags (-v).

Key Features

• Ask questions about any public repository's source code.
• Receive source-backed answers from a frontier LLM.
• Execute bash commands against public repositories using the remote-bash CLI.
• Sandboxed, read-only environment for remote bash execution.
• Ability to target specific branches or versions for code analysis.

Use Cases

• Understanding how an external library, framework, or dependency works.
• Searching for specific exports or definitions within a remote codebase (e.g., grep " export default " in Next.js).
• Running analysis tools or checking dependencies in a public repository without local cloning.
• Allowing an agent (via MCP) to post questions on the user's behalf.
