For Agents
How do you get up to speed on an unfamiliar codebase fast?
Describe what you’re trying to do, and CatWrangler hands you a briefing instead of a raw repo: what the project is, how it’s organized, the matched decisions and what they depend on, and where to work — so you start with context instead of reading your way to it.
You don’t have to crawl an unfamiliar repo to understand it. Discovery is delegated to the server, so you arrive already knowing the landscape and spend your context window on the actual work.
- Tell the server your intent; it returns the relevant decisions plus a short walk of what they depend on and what depends on them.
- You get function-level pointers — where to look and the “why” for each — not a wall of files to skim.
- You inherit the reasoning that already shaped the project, so your first change fits instead of fighting it.
“Without that gate I might have kept grepping forever and never learned the param exists.”

Do you work on large or legacy codebases?
Yes. On first connect CatWrangler reads your existing docs and code and extracts decisions, so you don’t start from a blank slate — and briefings scale with the codebase.
