Description
AI coding assistants need to see your code to help with it, but plenty of real-world development happens on networks that are deliberately cut off from the internet — banks, government systems, air-gapped labs — where you can't just paste your repo into a chatbot. siloBrief is built for that exact gap: it's a local, offline command-line tool that walks you through selecting exactly which files and functions matter, then generates a clean Markdown brief you can manually carry across the air gap to an external AI assistant.
It never touches the network itself, includes a review step before anything is finalized so nothing sensitive slips through by accident, and supports project 'boundaries' (ignore/unignore rules) to keep the brief scoped to what's relevant. It works with Python 3.10+ projects on Windows and Ubuntu, has both English and Korean interfaces, and is free under the Apache 2.0 license.
💬 Our review
The short version: a narrow but genuinely useful tool if you work in a closed-network environment and have been manually copy-pasting code into a text file to hand off to an AI assistant — siloBrief formalizes and safeguards that exact workflow.
There's no direct competitor built specifically for air-gapped review workflows; the closer comparisons are general repo-to-context tools like repomix or gitingest, which package a codebase for AI consumption but don't emphasize the manual security review step or offline-only operation as a core design constraint. If you're not working under network isolation requirements, a repo-packaging tool with broader language support will likely serve you better; siloBrief's value is specifically the air-gap-safe workflow and interactive review gate.
