Forums

Forums is a tool that lets developers ask questions about any public GitHub repository and receive answers generated by analyzing the actual source code. You simply point it at a repo—like 'vercel/next.js' or 'anomalyco/opencode'—and ask your question. The system uses a frontier large language model to read the codebase and provide specific, source-backed responses instead of generic answers.

The tool works through multiple interfaces: a web forum where questions and answers are publicly archived, a CLI tool called 'remote-bash' that lets you run commands against any public repo without cloning it, and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration that works with AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code. The MCP provides two main tools: 'ask' for querying codebases and 'bash' for executing read-only commands in a sandboxed environment.

This is particularly valuable for developers working with unfamiliar codebases, open source contributors trying to understand project architecture, or anyone debugging third-party dependencies. Instead of manually tracing through source code or relying on outdated documentation, you get immediate answers about how specific functions work, where certain exports are located, or how a particular module is structured.
