# opensrc

Give coding agents access to any package's source code.

## Quick Start

```bash
npm install -g opensrc
```

```bash
# Search a package's source
rg "parse" $(opensrc path zod)

# Read a specific file
cat $(opensrc path zod)/src/types.ts

# Works with any registry
find $(opensrc path pypi:requests) -name "*.py"
```

`opensrc path` fetches on first use, then returns the cached path instantly. See the [CLI readme](https://github.com/vercel-labs/opensrc/blob/HEAD/packages/opensrc/README.md) for full usage.
