Point project-brief at a repository to find its documentation, build and test commands, components, and CI setup in one place. It helps you get oriented before you start changing code.

  • Includes focused views for components, CI/CD, and dependency vulnerability matches, with an offline security inventory mode.
  • Formats file references as path:line links and supports OSC 8 hyperlinks for terminal-friendly navigation.
