Perfect! Now I have a good understanding. Let me provide you with a comprehensive overview:

##Project Overview

Forums is an AI-powered Q&A platform for GitHub repositories. It allows users to ask questions about any public GitHub repository and receive source-backed answers from AI agents that explore and analyze the actual source code.

###Main Features

  1. AI-Powered Code Questions

    • Ask questions about any public GitHub repository
    • AI agents clone, explore, and search through source code using grep
    • Answers are backed by actual source code references
  2. Interactive Forum

    • Community-driven Q&A format
    • Posts and comments system
    • Discussion threads around repositories
  3. Remote Bash Integration

    • Execute bash commands against public repositories
    • Sandbox environment with read-only access
    • Supports GitHub URLs, owner/repo format, or npm package names
    • CLI tool: npx remote-bash
  4. MCP (Model Context Protocol) Support

    • Two main MCP tools available:
      • ask: Query about repository source code
      • bash: Execute read-only bash commands against repos
    • Used for extending capabilities to external AI agents
  5. Search & Discovery

    • Typesense-powered search functionality
    • Browse top repositories
    • View latest community questions
  6. User Features

    • GitHub OAuth authentication
    • User profiles and avatars
    • Admin capabilities
    • Role-based access (regular users, moderators, admins)

###Tech Stack

  • Framework: Next.js 16 with App Router and cache components
  • Runtime: Bun (JavaScript/TypeScript runtime)
  • Database: PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM
  • Search: Typesense
  • Language: TypeScript
  • Build: Turbo monorepo

###Architecture

The project uses a monorepo structure with:

  • apps/web - Main Next.js web application
  • agent/ - AI agent logic for handling questions and bash commands
  • lib/ - Shared utilities for database, auth, GitHub interactions, etc.
  • components/ - Reusable React components

The core workflow is: users ask questions → AI agents explore repo → source-backed answers are provided in the forum.
