SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fetches dependency source code so AI agents can read internal implementations and understand how libraries and packages work, not just their public APIs.

Core Features & Use Cases

Source discovery: fetches and caches exact package sources from npm, PyPI, crates.io, or VCS references for offline access.
Contextual reading: enables exploration of implementation details to improve reasoning about dependency behavior.
Use Case: debugging a library or explaining its behavior to a teammate, load the full source tree into the agent's context.

Quick Start

Ask opensrc to fetch the source for a dependency, for example, fetch the source for zod.

FAQPage Schema

How do I fetch dependency source code for offline analysis?▼

To fetch dependency source code for offline analysis, request the package source by name. The tool identifies and caches exact package sources from npm, PyPI, crates.io, or VCS references locally to enable deep dives into internal implementations.

How does caching dependency source code work for reading internal implementations?▼

Caching dependency source code works by cloning the exact version tag from a registry or VCS reference and storing it locally in the ~/.opensrc/ directory, exposing a path for subsequent offline reads and contextual exploration.

Can I retrieve source code from npm, PyPI, and crates.io for deep context?▼

Yes, you can retrieve source code from npm, PyPI, and crates.io. The tool scopes source discovery across these ecosystems and VCS references, enabling exploration of implementation details to improve reasoning about dependency behavior.

What is the best way to load a full package source tree into an agent context?▼

The best way to load a full package source tree into an agent context is to ask the tool to fetch the source for a specific dependency. It clones the correct version tag and exposes the local cache path for the agent to read.

Why do I need to fetch exact dependency sources instead of just reading public APIs?▼

You need exact dependency sources to understand how libraries and packages work internally, not just their public APIs. Fetching the full source tree allows agents to explore implementation details, debug a library, or explain its behavior to a teammate.
