## Purpose

Source: AI-written repository summary; verify against source.

> Alist is a file listing and WebDAV server written in Go (Gin framework) with a Solidjs frontend that aggregates multiple cloud storage backends (Aliyun Drive, OneDrive, Google Drive, S3, FTP, SFTP, PikPak, Seafile, etc.) into a unified web interface.

## Main parts

> HTTP API & WebDAV: REST endpoints and WebDAV protocol handlers powering file access
Evidence: AI-written saved map. [internal/message/http.go](https://github.com/AlistGo/alist/blob/92e745360766cce32564f94a468cb576f577d27e/internal/message/http.go), [internal/message/ws.go](https://github.com/AlistGo/alist/blob/92e745360766cce32564f94a468cb576f577d27e/internal/message/ws.go)

> File Operations & Archive: Core filesystem operations, file handling, and archive extraction

## Evidence gaps

> RepoPilot has not run the setup commands or tests.
> Files marked “likely” are guessed from their names.
> An installation or usage excerpt was not captured. Read the README for how to use the published project.
> Root development commands were not established. Check the root manifest and contributor guide.
> Setup has not been executed. Environment variables, external services and command order may require additional source documentation.
