SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Open-Source Pipeline provides a safe, auditable workflow to convert private repositories into public-open-source releases by forking, sanitizing secrets, and packaging artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fork projects to create a public-facing copy while excluding sensitive data and unwanted history
  • Sanitize and verify repos to remove secrets, PII, and internal references
  • Package a ready-to-publish bundle (CLAUDE.md, setup.sh, README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md) and prepare repository metadata

Quick Start

Run the opensource-pipeline on your local project to fork, sanitize, and package it for open-source release.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sanitize a private repository for open-source release?

A repository sanitization process for open-source release removes secrets, PII, and internal references from your codebase. The sanitizer agent scans and verifies the repository to ensure all sensitive data is stripped before public distribution.

What is the best way to fork and package a private project for public distribution?

The best way to fork and package a private project for public distribution is a reproducible workflow that creates a public-facing copy while excluding unwanted history. It coordinates forking, sanitizing, and packaging to output a ready-to-publish bundle.

Can I automate creating open-source artifacts like README and setup.sh for my code?

You can automate creating open-source artifacts like README and setup.sh for your code. The packaging agent generates a ready-to-publish bundle including CLAUDE.md, setup.sh, README, LICENSE, and CONTRIBUTING.md while preparing repository metadata.

Does the open-source pipeline work for individual repositories and team workflows?

The open-source pipeline works for both individual repositories and team workflows. It provides a reproducible workflow that stages, sanitizes, and packages code, applying to teams needing a safe, auditable conversion of private projects into public releases.

How does the forking process exclude sensitive data and unwanted history?

The forking process excludes sensitive data and unwanted history by creating a public-facing copy of the private project. It stages the codebase for sanitization, ensuring the original repository and its sensitive commit history remain untouched.
