- Perfect for: Private codebases, offline analysis, local project documentation
- CLI:
skill-seekers-codebase-scraper --directory /path/to/code
✨ Enhanced LOCAL Enhancement Modes
4 Execution Modes for different use cases:
- Headless (default): Foreground, waits for completion (perfect for CI/CD)
- Background (
--background): Background thread, returns immediately - Daemon (
--daemon): Fully detached withnohup, survives parent exit - Terminal (
--interactive-enhancement): Opens new terminal window (macOS)
Force Mode (Default ON): Skip all confirmations - perfect for CI/CD automation!
Status Monitoring: New enhance-status command for background/daemon processes

📚 Comprehensive Documentation Reorganization
Complete overhaul of documentation structure:
- Removed 7 temporary/analysis files from root
- Archived 14 historical documents to
docs/archive/ - Organized 29 files into clear subdirectories:
docs/features/(10 files) - Core features, AI enhancement, PDF toolsdocs/integrations/(3 files) - Multi-LLM platform supportdocs/guides/(6 files) - Setup, MCP, usage guidesdocs/reference/(8 files) - Architecture, standards, technical reference
- Created
docs/README.md- Navigation index with "I want to..." user-focused navigation
Result: 3x faster documentation discovery, scalable structure
🔧 Global Setup Script with FastMCP
- New
setup.shfor global PyPI installation - Sets up MCP server configuration for Claude Code Desktop
- Perfect for end users (no development setup needed)
- Separate from
setup_mcp.sh(development setup)
