Source-first CLI for grounding questions in git repos, local directories, and npm packages.
Works with
Add and manage resources (git repositories, local directories, npm packages) via btca add , then query them with btca ask using resource names or anonymous one-off URLs
Ask questions across multiple resources simultaneously to cross-reference answers and connect concepts
Configuration stored in btca.config.jsonc at project and global levels; project config overrides global settings and control
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionbtca-cliExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches btca-cli from davis7dotsh/better-context and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate btca-cli. Access via /btca-cli in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

btca is a source-first research CLI. It hydrates resources (git, local, npm) into searchable context, then answers questions grounded in those sources. Use configured resources for ongoing work, or one-off anonymous resources directly in btca ask.
Full CLI reference: https://docs.btca.dev/guides/cli-reference
Add resources:
# Git resource
btca add -n svelte-dev https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte.dev
# Local directory
btca add -n my-docs -t local /absolute/path/to/docs
# npm package
btca add npm:@types/[email protected] -n node-types -t npm
Verify resources:
btca resources
Ask a question:
btca ask -r svelte-dev -q "How do I define remote functions?"
btca ask -r react -r typescript -q "How do I type useState?"
# One-off git repo
btca ask -r https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte -q "Where is the implementation of writable stores?"
# One-off npm package
btca ask -r npm:[email protected] -q "How is useTransition exported?"
btca.config.jsonc (project) and ~/.config/btca/btca.config.jsonc (global).btca add ... and re-run btca resources.btca connect and follow the prompts.btca resources for configured names, or pass a valid HTTPS git URL / npm:<package> as an anonymous one-off in btca ask.Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
