Forums

What it does

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.

Core 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.
