About this project

Git Shell Helpers is an open-source collection of shell-based git productivity commands, MCP servers for AI-assisted development, and a VS Code extension — all designed to streamline developer workflows.

This Atlas is the searchable knowledge surface for the project. It indexes Copilot customization guidance (instructions, agents, skills, prompts), a curated computer science knowledge base, and community-contributed research notes into a single fast client-side search.

What’s in the index

  • Copilot — .instructions.md, .agent.md, skills, prompts, and configuration patterns
  • Knowledge — ~950 encyclopedia-quality CS and engineering notes
  • Archive — Community cache snapshots and research source documents

How search works

The search runs entirely client-side. A build script extracts titles, headings, keywords, topics, and full text from every document, then serializes the corpus into a single JSON file. At runtime, queries are tokenized and scored against weighted fields (title > headings > keywords > body text) with multi-term boosting.
