- Documentation Retrieval: Locate specific documentation files within a project's repository (e.g., "README.md for the 'requests' library").
- File Content Extraction: Retrieve the content of a specific file from a GitHub repository (e.g., "Get the contents of
src/main.pyin the 'tensorflow' repo"). - Project Discovery: Identify projects based on keywords or descriptions (e.g., "Find repositories with 'machine learning' and 'Rust'").
