project_info

Comprehensive project metadata and structure detection

The project_info tool provides a complete overview of your project's configuration, structure, and technology stack. It automatically detects frameworks, package managers, languages, build tools, CI/CD configurations, and more.

How It Works

Stellarion scans your project root for configuration files (package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, etc.) and analyzes file patterns to detect the technology stack. It aggregates this information into a comprehensive project profile.

When to Use

Understanding a new codebase: Get a quick overview of what you're working with
Checking project configuration: Verify detected frameworks and tools
Verifying framework detection: Ensure Stellarion understands your project correctly
Getting project statistics: File counts, language distribution, activity
Onboarding new team members: Provide project context quickly

Parameters

`path`	string	No	`.`	Project root to analyze
`includeLanguages`	boolean	No	false	Include detailed language distribution
`includeStats`	boolean	No	false	Include file size statistics
`includeDocs`	boolean	No	false	Scan documentation directory
`includeActivity`	boolean	No	false	Include recent file activity timestamps
`includeReadme`	boolean	No	false	Extract README content and summary

Tips for Effective Use

Use as starting point: Run project_info first when exploring a new codebase
Verify detection: Check that frameworks are correctly identified before using other tools
Include languages for large projects: Understand the tech stack distribution
Check activity for maintenance: See how recently files were modified
Combine with index_project: Get info first, then index for full analysis
