Orchestrates a six-phase pipeline (discovery via glob patterns and .gitignore rules, parallel file collection, security validation via Secretlint, transformation with Tree-sitter compression, template-based formatting, and tiktoken-based token counting) to pack entire repositories into single files in XML, Markdown, JSON, or Plain Text formats. Uses worker-based parallel processing to handle large codebases efficiently while maintaining structural awareness through AST parsing rather than naive concatenation.
Unique: Uses Tree-sitter AST parsing for structural code compression across 40+ languages instead of regex-based comment stripping, enabling language-aware token optimization. Implements worker-based parallel file processing pipeline with Secretlint security scanning integrated into the transformation phase, not as a post-processing step.
vs alternatives: Produces smaller, more LLM-optimized outputs than naive concatenation tools because it strips comments and compresses code structure via AST parsing, reducing token consumption by 20-40% while maintaining semantic integrity.
Implements a declarative configuration system (via .repomixrc.json or CLI flags) that supports glob patterns, .gitignore integration, language-specific filters, and file size limits. The configuration loader merges CLI arguments with file-based config using a precedence hierarchy, allowing users to define complex inclusion/exclusion rules without modifying code. Supports both positive patterns (include) and negative patterns (exclude) with gitignore-style semantics.
Unique: Implements a two-level configuration system with automatic .gitignore rule parsing and merging, allowing users to define filters declaratively in .repomixrc.json while respecting repository-level gitignore rules without manual duplication. CLI flags override file config with explicit precedence, enabling both persistent and ad-hoc filtering.
vs alternatives: More flexible than simple include/exclude lists because it integrates .gitignore semantics natively and supports declarative configuration files, reducing the need to manually specify exclusions for common patterns like node_modules or .git.
Provides a browser-based interface for testing Repomix functionality without local installation. The web platform includes an interactive try-it interface where users can input repository URLs or paste code, configure packaging options, and preview output in real-time. Server-side API handles repository cloning and processing, with results streamed back to the browser. Supports multi-language documentation and localized UI.
Unique: Implements a full-stack web platform with server-side repository processing and browser-based UI, enabling users to test Repomix without local installation. Includes multi-language documentation and localized UI, making the tool accessible to non-English speakers.

Provides a GitHub Action that enables automated repository packaging as part of CI/CD workflows. The action can be triggered on push, pull request, or schedule events, packaging the repository and uploading results as artifacts or committing them to the repository. Supports configuration via action inputs (format, filters, compression options) and environment variables. Integrates with GitHub's artifact storage and release systems.
Unique: Implements Repomix as a reusable GitHub Action, enabling declarative packaging automation in CI/CD workflows. Integrates with GitHub's artifact storage and release systems, allowing packaged outputs to be stored alongside build artifacts or committed to the repository.
vs alternatives: More integrated than manual packaging because it automates packaging as part of CI/CD, enabling regular snapshots without manual invocation. Integration with GitHub's artifact system enables easy access to packaged outputs from workflow runs.
Enables packaging of remote Git repositories by cloning them to a temporary directory, processing the cloned files through the standard pipeline, and cleaning up temporary storage. Supports both HTTPS and SSH Git URLs with automatic credential handling. The remoteAction() function orchestrates cloning, validation, and cleanup with error recovery for network failures or invalid repository URLs.
Unique: Implements automatic temporary directory management with cleanup-on-exit semantics, allowing remote repository processing without requiring users to manage clone directories manually. Integrates Git credential handling transparently, supporting both HTTPS and SSH authentication without explicit credential passing in CLI arguments.
vs alternatives: Simpler than manual git clone + repomix workflows because it handles temporary storage and cleanup automatically, and integrates credential handling natively without exposing credentials in command-line arguments or logs.
Exposes Repomix functionality as an MCP server that integrates directly with AI assistants like Claude. Implements MCP tools for packing repositories and retrieving packaged content, allowing AI assistants to invoke Repomix operations within their native tool-calling interface. The MCP server mode runs as a separate process that communicates with the AI assistant via JSON-RPC over stdio, enabling seamless integration without CLI invocation overhead.
Unique: Implements MCP server mode as a first-class distribution channel alongside CLI and web interfaces, exposing Repomix as native tools within AI assistants' function-calling interfaces. Uses JSON-RPC over stdio for communication, enabling tight integration with Claude and other MCP-compatible clients without HTTP overhead or external API dependencies.
vs alternatives: More seamless than CLI-based workflows because the AI assistant can invoke Repomix directly within its native tool interface, eliminating context switching and enabling agentic workflows where the AI can package multiple repositories and analyze them iteratively.
Leverages Tree-sitter AST parsing to intelligently strip comments and compress code structure across 40+ programming languages. For each supported language, the system parses source code into an abstract syntax tree, identifies comment nodes, removes them while preserving code semantics, and optionally adds line numbers for reference. Unsupported languages fall back to regex-based comment stripping. This approach reduces token consumption by 20-40% compared to naive concatenation while maintaining code structure.
Unique: Uses Tree-sitter AST parsing for language-aware comment removal instead of regex patterns, enabling structural understanding of code syntax. Supports 40+ languages natively with automatic fallback to regex-based stripping for unsupported languages, providing consistent compression across heterogeneous codebases.
vs alternatives: More accurate than regex-based comment stripping because it understands language syntax and can distinguish between comments and string literals containing comment-like text. Reduces token consumption by 20-40% compared to naive concatenation while preserving code semantics.

Crawls 11+ heterogeneous platforms (Zhihu, Weibo, Bilibili, Twitter, Reddit, HackerNews, etc.) and RSS feeds using platform-specific scrapers, normalizes disparate data schemas into a unified NewsItem model, and deduplicates content across sources using fuzzy title matching and URL canonicalization. The system maintains platform-specific metadata (rank, heat value, engagement metrics) while presenting a single normalized feed, enabling cross-platform trend detection that would be invisible within individual platform silos.
Unique: Implements platform-specific crawler modules with unified NewsItem schema and fuzzy deduplication across 11+ heterogeneous sources (Chinese + international), rather than relying on single-platform APIs or generic RSS parsing. Maintains platform-specific metadata (rank × 0.6 + frequency × 0.3 + platform hot value × 0.1) for weighted hotspot scoring.
vs alternatives: Covers more platforms (especially Chinese social media) with deeper metadata extraction than generic RSS aggregators, and provides unified deduplication across sources unlike single-platform monitoring tools.
Implements a multi-stage filtering pipeline that matches news items against user-defined keywords using regex patterns, required word lists, and excluded word lists. The system applies frequency-based scoring (keyword occurrence count) combined with platform hotspot weights to rank filtered results. Configuration is stored in frequency_words.txt with support for regex patterns, AND/OR/NOT boolean operators, and per-keyword weighting. Filtering occurs at collection time (reducing storage) and again at report generation time (enabling dynamic reconfiguration without re-crawling).
Unique: Combines regex pattern matching with frequency-based scoring and platform hotspot weighting (rank × 0.6 + frequency × 0.3 + platform hot value × 0.1) in a two-stage pipeline (collection-time and report-time filtering). Supports dynamic reconfiguration without re-crawling by applying filters at report generation.
TrendRadar scores higher at 58/100 vs repomix at 48/100. repomix leads on quality, while TrendRadar is stronger on adoption and ecosystem.

vs alternatives: More flexible than simple keyword matching (supports regex and boolean logic) and more efficient than semantic filtering (no LLM overhead), making it suitable for real-time filtering at scale.
Detects newly emerged topics by comparing current crawl results against historical data stored in the system. Topics are marked as 🆕 (new) if they appear for the first time in the current crawl or if their hotspot rank increased significantly compared to previous crawls. The system tracks topic emergence velocity (how quickly a topic rises in rankings) and flags topics with unusual acceleration. New topic detection is performed at report generation time, enabling dynamic detection without re-crawling. The system maintains a historical hotspot index for comparison.
Unique: Detects new topics by comparing current hotspot rankings against historical data, marking topics with significant rank increases as 🆕. Tracks emergence velocity to distinguish breaking news from sustained trends.
vs alternatives: More efficient than semantic similarity detection (no LLM overhead) and more accurate than simple first-appearance detection (accounts for re-emerging topics), but requires historical baseline data.
Provides a web-based UI for editing TrendRadar configuration files (config.yaml, frequency_words.txt, timeline.yaml) with real-time validation and preview. The editor supports: (1) syntax highlighting for YAML and regex, (2) validation of keyword patterns (regex compilation check), (3) preview of filtered results based on current keyword configuration, (4) drag-and-drop channel configuration, (5) schedule preview (shows next 10 execution times). Changes are validated before saving, preventing configuration errors. The editor is optional; users can edit config files directly.
Unique: Provides web-based configuration editor with real-time validation, regex preview, and schedule visualization. Enables non-technical users to configure TrendRadar without editing YAML files.
vs alternatives: More user-friendly than manual YAML editing and provides validation feedback, but adds operational complexity compared to file-based configuration.
Integrates LiteLLM to provide vendor-agnostic AI analysis and summarization of filtered news items. Users configure their preferred LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, local models, etc.) once in config.yaml, and the system automatically routes analysis requests to that provider. The AI analysis capability includes: (1) automated summarization of long articles into key points, (2) sentiment analysis (positive/negative/neutral), (3) trend prediction based on historical patterns, and (4) custom analysis prompts. Analysis results are cached to avoid redundant API calls and can be pushed directly to notification channels.
Unique: Uses LiteLLM abstraction layer to support any LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, local models) with single configuration, enabling provider switching without code changes. Caches analysis results to reduce redundant API calls and costs.
vs alternatives: More flexible than hardcoded OpenAI integration (supports any LiteLLM provider) and cheaper than dedicated sentiment analysis APIs (can use local models), but slower than rule-based sentiment analysis.
Leverages LiteLLM to translate news content from source languages (primarily Chinese) to target languages (English, etc.) on-demand. The system detects source language automatically (via langdetect or similar), caches translations to avoid re-translating identical content, and batches translation requests to reduce API calls. Translations are stored alongside original content, enabling bilingual reports and multi-language notification delivery. Translation can be triggered at collection time (all news) or report time (only filtered news).
Unique: Implements provider-agnostic translation via LiteLLM with automatic language detection, content-based caching, and batch request optimization. Stores translations alongside originals for bilingual report generation.
vs alternatives: More flexible than dedicated translation APIs (supports any LiteLLM provider) and cheaper than commercial translation services when using local models, but slower than specialized translation APIs.
Implements a notification abstraction layer supporting 9+ delivery channels (WeChat, WeWork, Feishu, Telegram, Email, ntfy, Bark, Slack, etc.). Each channel has a provider-specific formatter that converts normalized news items into channel-appropriate messages (e.g., WeChat card format, Telegram markdown, email HTML). The system batches notifications atomically—all news items for a report are sent as a single batch to each channel, ensuring consistency and reducing API calls. Message formatting respects channel constraints (character limits, attachment limits, etc.) and supports templating for customization.
Unique: Implements atomic message batching across 9+ heterogeneous channels with provider-specific formatters and constraint-aware truncation. Single configuration enables simultaneous delivery to WeChat, WeWork, Feishu, Telegram, Email, ntfy, Bark, Slack, etc. without code changes.
vs alternatives: Supports more channels (especially Chinese platforms like WeWork, Feishu) than generic notification services, and batching reduces API calls and spam compared to per-item notifications.
Exposes TrendRadar's data and analysis capabilities as an MCP server, enabling AI agents and LLM applications to query trends, perform analysis, and generate insights through natural language. The MCP server implements tools for: (1) querying filtered news by keyword/date/platform, (2) retrieving trend statistics and hotspot rankings, (3) running custom analysis on news subsets, (4) generating reports in various formats. Clients (Claude, other LLM agents) can invoke these tools via MCP protocol, enabling conversational exploration of trends without direct database access. The server maintains state across multiple requests, allowing multi-turn conversations about trends.
Unique: Implements full MCP server exposing trend data and analysis tools to LLM agents, enabling conversational queries and multi-turn analysis workflows. Maintains state across requests and supports complex tool invocations (filtering, analysis, report generation).
