Orynth is an AI-powered open-source contributor guide designed to help beginners understand unfamiliar GitHub repositories and make their first contributions with confidence.

Powered by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Gemma, Orynth retrieves relevant information from repository documentation, including README files and contribution guides, to answer questions using project-specific evidence. It provides source citations and displays the retrieved passages so users can verify answers directly against the original documentation.

Orynth also includes an evidence-based refusal mechanism to reduce unsupported answers and a step-by-step onboarding checklist to help newcomers understand where to start.
