Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

Tools

  • get_install

    Get the one line that installs UGT on the user's Windows PC, Mac or Linux computer and connects it to their AI apps, UGT for Claude Desktop, and what each computer runs recipes in. Omit the computer to get every one.

    Measured

  • get_project

    Get how UGT runs one GitHub project, by owner/repo or its link: the recipes people have shared for it, each verified for one job. Every GitHub project works with UGT, so the result always says what to do next.

    Measured

  • get_recipe

    Get one recipe in full: what it takes and makes, what stays usable after a run, the settings it asks for, everything it can reach and why, where it was tested, and every file it runs.

    Measured

  • read_recipe_file

    Read one of a recipe's files, such as compose.yaml, its Dockerfile or recipe.json, to see exactly what it runs.

    Measured

  • search_recipes

    Find how UGT gets a job done on the user's own computer with open-source software from GitHub, such as subtitles, CAD, video or web pages to Markdown. Search by what the user wants done or by a project's name, or omit the query to list the newest recipes. A recipe is a verified way to get one project doing one job, shared so the next person gets it fast.
