Code research platform for AI agents; find, understand, and prove context across your code and all of GitHub, in a fraction of the tokens. One toolset, MCP or CLI
Use when an idea needs disciplined exploration before building: generate options, test whether it is worth building, map adjacent solutions, challenge assumptions, narrow scope, or choose Build RFC / Prototype / Narrow / Park — even if nobody said brainstorm. Already decided to implement a specific plan → skip.
Use when a live page needs Chrome DevTools/CDP evidence: network failures, console errors, performance, DOM/CSS actionability, screenshots/PDF, cookies/storage, click/fill/search, HAR, or auth-gated pages. Phrases like debug in Chrome, live page health, CDP snapshot, cookie bridge. Not for static crawl or bulk extract…
Use when docs are missing, wrong, stale, or badly written, or need a copyedit against the Google style guide: README, API reference, runbook, CONTRIBUTING, changelog, onboarding, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, ADR, migration guide, Diátaxis or whole-codebase restructure, docstrings, alt text, prose linting. Not for code…
Use when you need a measurable keep/discard loop — goal→KPI, baseline vs target, held-out checks, eval suites, or don't-stop-till-done against a runnable sensor. Not for ordinary ship checks where 'tests passed' is enough.
Use when posing, animating, or explaining a 3D human skeleton/manikin: anatomical joints, ROM clamps, walk/run/dance/backflip sequences, Three.js viewer, or agent-driven WebMCP figure control (reach/lookat). Phrases like pose the manikin, skeleton scheme, animate a walk cycle. Not for general 3D scenes…
Use when an agent prompt, tool schema, policy, or handoff needs to get clearer, safer, easier to trigger, cheaper in context, or measurable against real behavior. For SKILL.md folder install/review/structure, use octocode-skills.
Use when code must be checked, not assumed: trace connections (callers, imports, cross-repo wiring, what breaks if I change it), locate behavior, map a system, diagnose a failure, RCA. Also for external repositories, npm packages, upstream/prior art, and general research. Plan a coding flow before writing, validate it…
Use when a consequential change needs a decision before coding: write or improve an RFC, design doc, architecture proposal, migration plan, option comparison, rollout plan, or measurable implementation contract. If the idea is still open-ended, use octocode-brainstorming first.
Use when extracting or mapping public web content into a local cited corpus: scrape or crawl a URL/docs site, pull tables/pricing/product fields, diagnose blocked or thin pages, or answer from saved pages. Phrases like scrape this URL, crawl the docs, build a corpus, extract pricing. Prefer keyless fetch; ask before…
Use when working on Agent Skills (SKILL.md folders): find, compare, rate, review, create, improve, repair, install, or sync skills from local workspaces, registries, or remote sources. For wording-only prompt polish without folder ops, use octocode-prompt-optimizer.
