I’ve been shipping AI-written code for 2 years now. I can build something amazing in 40 mins but then spend 4+ hours debugging because the agent has no idea how the libraries it’s calling actually work. Docs are stale, StackOverflow is dead, training data is outdated. Every engineer I talk to has the same problem.
So I built Instagit, an MCP server that lets your coding agent understand any GitHub repo in depth so it can get it right on the first try. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, etc.
No API key or account needed to try it out. Just need to share these instructions with your coding agent to get started:
curl -s https://instagit.com/install.md https://instagit.com/install.md
- vishnu2ko4 7mo agohey irrelevant question, what tools you use to make such great landing pages for your products? your instagit.com looks great, what's your vibe coding workflow?
- instalabsai 7mo agoThanks! No fancy tooling, I made it by just prompting Claude Code with the "frontend-design" skill from Anthropic: https://skillsmp.com/skills/anthropics-skills-skills-frontend-design-skill-md https://skillsmp.com/skills/anthropics-skills-skills-fronten...
- cpursley 7mo agoAny promoting tips for this sort of result?
- instalabsai 7mo agoSure, here are a few tips: - Use a static website generator (I use Astro but there are others) where the agent can fully control every aspect of the website - Use skills to enhance the prompting, like this frontend-design one but can also combine it with copy writing/seo skills etc - Give the agent control access to the browser to give it visibility into the result in order to iteratively improve upon it - The last thing is to just be very demanding and setting a high bar, so ask for animations and ask the agent over and over again “ok and now let’s improve what you just did”
- cpursley 7mo agoThanks, yeah - astro is amazing. It’s too bad many people and llms reach for nextjs by default.
- morgengold 7mo agoInteresting! How does it work under the hood? If you can share. Would like to understand if this improves my Claude Code's understanding of my codebase.
- instalabsai 7mo agoIt’s basically scanning the source code for each question (you can also check out specific branches or release tags if you need to debug a particular version) and then writes up the answer once it finds it. It’s not really meant to query your own code base (Claude Code already does a great job at that) but more to explore other code bases you want to integrate with.
- unsaved159 7mo agoWhy not context 7?
- instalabsai 7mo agoContext7 is great but ultimately it’s just a pre-generated static summarization that might not include the specific answers the agent needs. I have a slightly different approach where the actual source code is scanned for each question so it’s much more targeted and never out of date.
