opensrc is a Rust-based CLI that fetches and caches the source code of packages from npm, PyPI, crates.io, and GitHub so AI coding agents can read real implementations. It exposes an `opensrc path` command that returns a local cached path usable in subshells with tools like rg, cat, and find.

Use cases

• give my AI coding agent access to a package's actual source code
• search npm package source with ripgrep
• fetch and cache source code from pypi or crates.io
• read implementation files instead of just type definitions
• feed real dependency source into LLM context

When to choose

• you use AI coding agents that benefit from reading dependency implementations
• you want a fast cached way to browse package source across registries
• you script source exploration with rg/grep/cat in subshells

When to avoid

• you only need type definitions or documentation, not source
• you need a GUI-based package browser
• you work offline with no registry or git access
