About

Rebrief is a local CLI that scans a codebase (stack, git history, ownership, and security/test risks) and generates a structured REBRIEF.md handoff report in about 30 seconds, filtering noisy commits and estimating token savings versus raw source. It also ships an MCP server, VS Code extension, web dashboard, and an optional chat mode for querying the generated brief.

What it can do

  • Scan a local or remote codebase for stack, git history, ownership, and security/test risks

    Codebase repository → Risk and context analysis

  • Generate a structured handoff report

    Codebase scan results → REBRIEF.md file

  • Export handoff report in multiple formats

    Scan results → Markdown, JSON, XML, or HTML file

  • Filter noisy commits from git history

    Git commit history → Filtered relevant commits

  • Estimate token savings compared to raw source

    Codebase and generated report → Token savings estimate

  • Query the generated brief via chat mode

    User question → Answer based on brief content

Why it made the leaderboard

Gives an agent or new contributor a fast, structured orientation to an unfamiliar codebase (stack, history, risks) instead of having to explore the repo manually or burn tokens ingesting it raw.
