README
Prospect across all of GitHub from your AI agent.
Find libraries, discover gems, search code patterns, and read real production code — across 200M+ repos, PyPI, and npm.

What is Fossick
fossick /ˈfɒsɪk/ verb (Australian/NZ) — to prospect or rummage for gems, especially the small-scale kind of mining where you sift creek beds and old tailings looking for what bigger operators missed.
That's exactly what this tool does — but for code.
Fossick gives your AI agent seven read-only tools to prospect across all of GitHub, PyPI, and npm, covering the full discovery loop end-to-end:
- Search and discover. Sift 200M+ repos with multi-query relevance ranking, find the small-but-good libraries that bigger tools bury, look up packages on PyPI and npm.
- Drill into any repo without cloning. Browse a remote repo's tree with depth and glob filters, read any file at any branch/tag/commit, and goto-definition for any class, function, or type — all on remote GitHub, no local checkout needed.
- Search code patterns across all of GitHub. Full-text, regex, qualifier-aware search across every public file — find how an API is actually used in production, not just in the docs.
Useful any time you'd benefit from your agent reaching into the world's largest code corpus:
- Pick the right library. Find a small, focused, actively-maintained option for any task — not just the most popular one.
- Discover hidden gems. Surface the 500-star library that ranks higher on relevance than the 50,000-star incumbent.
- Drill into a repo you found. Walk its layout, read its README, find where its core API is defined — without
git clone. - Find usage patterns in real code. Search how an API is called in production, then read the matched files in context.
- Get inspired. See how others structured similar projects, what patterns they used, what tradeoffs they made.
- Stay current. Discover what's trending, just-released, or new in an ecosystem — past your model's training cutoff.
