Common questions
I don’t have a graph yet — what do I run?
Each format has a producer tool linked next to it above. Run that tool against your repo, commit the output, then come back. The FAQ walks through this in plain language.
I’m not sure which format to pick.
If your repo is a generic codebase, pick generic@1 — it accepts any
{nodes, edges} shape and a maintainer can re-tag you to a stricter format
later if it fits. If you used a specific tool (Repomix, gitingest, GitNexus, etc.),
pick the matching format above. Worst case, ask in the
Discussions.
How long until my entry shows up?
Verified publishers: same-day, auto-merged after CI passes. First-time contributors: 24–48h while a maintainer reviews. After merge, the registry resyncs your entry within a few minutes.
I don’t want to open a GitHub issue.
Click Copy as JSON for direct PR above, then open a PR yourself per CONTRIBUTING.md. Direct PRs are usually faster than issues.
Why a bot review, not direct write access?
Same gate as awesome-lists: a maintainer review on every entry keeps quality high and the registry trustworthy for downstream agents. The bot just removes the typing — it doesn’t skip review. Verified publishers (allowlisted maintainers) skip the review for registry-only PRs.
What rights am I granting by submitting?
By submitting an entry you accept the Data License 1.0: anyone can use the registry (including for AI training); LoopTech.AI and Alex Macdonald-Smith get a perpetual, sublicensable right to use submitted data; that grant travels with any fork. Don’t submit content you don’t have rights to share.
