@DanKornas ships brief (github.com/git-pkgs/brief): an MIT single-binary CLI for contributors and AI coding agents that detects language, package manager, test/build/lint/formatter conventions; accepts local paths, Git URLs, and registry packages; can narrow reports to changed files; emits human or JSON output; and adds inspection commands for native artifacts, tooling gaps, and threat categories.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓Single-binary CLI that orients humans and coding agents before edits.
  • ✓Detects language, package manager, test/build/lint conventions; change-aware narrowing.
  • ✓MIT open source; local path, Git URL, and registry inputs; human or JSON output.
