## Captured setup
Setup revision: 4be0b47ecc0edd535a40a79f6ceb6f1ac5936483. Working directory: repository root. Commands have not been executed.
Package manager not established by captured evidence.
Root development commands were not captured.
## Source pointers
- [Source files on GitHub](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/4be0b47ecc0edd535a40a79f6ceb6f1ac5936483)
## Evidence gaps
> Dependencies were not checked for known security issues. That does not mean there are none.
> RepoPilot has not run the setup commands or tests.
> The file list has no top-level manifest or contributor guide, so setup is not covered here.
> No public API or start-up file could be picked out from the file names.
> Could not capture README.md: source unavailable or larger than the capture limit. Open its source link to check setup.
> An installation or usage excerpt was not captured. Read the README for how to use the published project.
> Runtime versions and other prerequisites were not captured.
> 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.
## Further evidence
This brief can be used without a connection. If RepoPilot is connected, its hosted MCP endpoint is https://repopilot.app/api/mcp.
- Concise brief: analyze_repo {"repo":"ocornut/imgui"}
- Full reference: get_artifact {"repo":"ocornut/imgui"}
- For a concrete task, call plan_repo_task with this repository, the task, and your actual checkout SHA when known. Compare returned analyzed_sha and evidence_gaps before relying on its file guidance.
- Follow the tool result's next_actions for more evidence. A missing result or unknown revision remains unverified.
Before you rely on it
- Dependencies were not checked for known security issues. That does not mean there are none.
- RepoPilot has not run the setup commands or tests.
Optional: connect RepoPilot over MCP so your agent can look things up itself.
