What is Repowise
Repowise is an open-source codebase intelligence platform that turns a repository into verified architecture, health, history, decisions, and grounded answers for developers and AI agents. It analyzes source structure, dependencies, call relationships, git history, ownership, code-health signals, tests, and engineering decisions, then builds a reusable codebase model and generated documentation.
How to use Repowise
- Explore a repository: Paste a public GitHub repository URL on the homepage to browse its indexed data without signing in.
- Sign in for more: Create a free account to get 10 grounded answers per month, which use indexed repository evidence.
- Use with AI agents: Connect Repowise to coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor via MCP (Model Context Protocol) to provide precise codebase context.
- Install the PR Bot: Add the GitHub App to review pull requests against the indexed codebase, dependency graph, and change history.
- Run locally or in the cloud: Use the open-source engine locally, the hosted product, or an enterprise deployment.
Features of Repowise
- Code health: Defect-validated 1-10 score per file, computed from repository evidence and checked against real bug-fix history.
- AI context (MCP): Ten MCP tools that give agents real codebase context, reducing token usage.
- Change risk: A 0-10 defect-risk score for any commit or PR, considering blast radius, co-changes, and missing tests.
- Auto wiki: Automatically generated documentation of the codebase that stays current with source changes.
- Git intelligence: Hotspots, ownership, hidden coupling, and bus factor analysis.
- Architecture (C4): System context, containers, and components diagrams.
- Decisions: Architectural decisions mined from eight sources.
- Agent provenance: See how much code AI wrote and whether it is healthy.
- Security: Reachability-aware CVE triage on the dependency graph.
- PR Bot: Provides changed contracts, missing co-changes, and merge checks in pull requests.
Use Cases of Repowise
- For developers: Give Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client a queryable model of the repository.
- For teams: One shared index and credit pool for the whole team.
- For team leads: Flag risky PRs, hotspots, and hidden coupling on every pull request.
- For engineering leaders: See how much code AI wrote, whether it is healthy, and who owns it.
- For security: CVE triage that knows whether vulnerable code is actually called.
- For enterprise: Self-hosted, air-gapped, and commercially licensed for the whole organization.
Pricing
- Open source: Free under AGPL-3.0, can run locally with your model provider or a local model.
- Hosted: Free tier includes browsing public repositories and 10 grounded answers per month. Paid tiers available for private repositories and more usage.
- Enterprise: Custom deployment with organizational controls and support.
FAQ
What does Repowise index?
Repowise analyzes source structure, dependencies, call relationships, git history, ownership, code-health signals, tests, and engineering decisions. It turns that evidence into a reusable codebase model and generated documentation.
Can I browse without signing in?
Yes. You can open and browse supported public repositories without an account or installation.
What do I get when I sign in?
The Free hosted experience includes 10 grounded answers each month. Those answers use indexed repository evidence rather than treating the codebase as an unstructured prompt.
Does Repowise replace my coding agent or IDE?
No. Repowise supplies codebase context to developers and existing tools through the hosted application, CLI, and Model Context Protocol. Your agent or editor remains where the work happens.
Can I run it myself or inside my organization?
Yes. The core engine is open source under AGPL-3.0 and can run locally with your model provider or a local model. Repowise is also available as a hosted product, with an enterprise path for organizational deployments.
