works the night shift

The work in your repo
that agents
keep rediscovering.

gitelf finds the repo chores nobody volunteers for and makes public repos easier for coding agents to process. Paste a repo, get a cleanup queue, and generate an AGENTS.md draft without LLM calls.

Free repo audit

Paste any public GitHub repo and choose what to run. Hygiene scores the repo front door: README, license, templates, security policy, and AGENTS.md presence. Agent-readiness generates a deterministic AGENTS.md draft and checklist from manifests, workflow commands, and directory layout.

Readiness checklist

Detected commands

Generated AGENTS.md

Copy this into the repo root, then trim any inferred sections that do not match maintainer intent.

the chore list

Janitorial work,
turned into repo facts.

Public repo scans should return concrete fixes: missing files, undocumented commands, stale docs, and agent context gaps.

agents

AGENTS.md draft

Creates a concise repo-specific instruction file from manifests, workflows, README, and tree structure.

commands

Build/test discovery

Extracts install, build, lint, test, format, and typecheck commands so agents stop guessing.

safety

Do-not-edit boundaries

Flags lockfiles, generated output, vendor dirs, migrations, and secret-sensitive areas.

ci

CI alignment

Reads GitHub Actions run steps and mirrors the important validation commands into agent guidance.

docs

Repo front door

Checks README, license, security policy, contributor files, templates, and dependency automation.

mvp

No LLM calls

Uses deterministic parsing and GitHub public APIs. Cheap enough to run as a free serverless tool.
