View guide →Repowise — codebase intelligence: health scores, auto-docs, git analytics and dead-code detection via MCP.
repowise is an open-source dev tools project by repowise-dev (repowise-dev/repowise on GitHub). It has 7,239 GitHub stars and 791 forks, is released under the AGPL-3.0 license, and was last updated on GitHub on 8 October 2026.
Pick the repo to index and decide which front door you will use — CLI for you, MCP for your agents, or both.
Clone repowise-dev/repowise from GitHub (or use the install path in the run steps below) and skim its README for the parts relevant to your goal.
Install repowise as a uv tool (or pipx/pip), then run its one-line setup in your repository to build the index.
Index the repo, read its health score, then ask your agent (via MCP) which files are risky to change in your next task.
Scores repository health and re-checks its own score after each index, so quality trends are visible, not vibes.
Generates documentation and writes your CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md from the real index, keeping them current.
Scores any commit or base..HEAD range 0–10 from the shape of the change, plus bug-history per file and symbol.
Works out which tests reach a file and which a diff exercises, and estimates test coverage without running coverage.
Dead-code detection, architectural-decision records, and analytics over git history, including which other open branches edit your files.
Exposes the index through MCP, distills large command output before agents read it, and seeds new git worktrees with the index automatically.
Get the source from the official GitHub repository for repowise.
git clone https://github.com/repowise-dev/repowise.git
cd repowiseInstall it as a uv tool exactly as the README's one-line setup shows (pipx and pip installs are also documented).
uv tool install repowiseRun Repowise's setup/index in your repo so the .repowise/ index is built next to the code.
# Run the repowise setup command in your repository per the README — see README for the exact commandrepowise-dev, through the repowise-dev/repowise repository, with the site at repowise.dev.
Yes — the project is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license as recorded for this listing. See the license terms for any conditions on redistribution.
The self-hosted open-source version runs on your machine with your own LLM provider only if you turn its prose features on; core indexing does not require a paid key.
Linters check code style and known bug patterns file by file. Repowise builds a repo-wide intelligence layer — health, history, risk, tests, dead code and decisions — and serves it to agents via MCP, which is context for decisions, not just diagnostics.
Clone the repository (or use the documented installer), follow the install and configure steps on this page, and run the smallest real task first — index the repo, read its health score, then ask your agent (via MCP) which files are risky to change in your next task.
