## Installation

```bash
pip install scitex-introspect
pip install "scitex-introspect[mcp]"   # + MCP server for AI agents
```

## Architecture

```
scitex_introspect/
├── _core.py              ← q / qq IPython-style entrypoints
├── _signature.py         ← inspect.signature with type hints
├── _docstring.py         ← docstring extraction
├── _source.py            ← getsource with fallback
├── _list_api.py          ← recursive module API tree
├── _members.py           ← attribute / method enumeration
├── _imports.py           ← static import-graph extraction
├── _call_graph.py        ← AST-based caller / callee analysis
├── _class_hierarchy.py   ← MRO + base-class walk
├── _examples.py          ← scrape doctest / examples blocks
├── _resolve.py           ← dotted-path → object resolver
├── _type_hints.py        ← typing.get_type_hints helpers
├── _mcp/                 ← MCP server tools
└── _skills/              ← agent-facing skill pages
```

Pure-stdlib core — every module is a thin layer over `inspect`,
`importlib`, `ast`, and `typing`. Zero runtime deps.

## 2 Interfaces

<details open>
<summary><strong>Python API</strong></summary>

<br>

```python
import scitex_introspect as ix

# IPython-style shortcuts
ix.q(my_func)        # Signature with type hints
ix.qq(my_func)       # Full source code
ix.dir(my_pkg)       # List attributes/methods
ix.list_api(my_pkg)  # Recursive module API tree

# Detailed inspection
ix.signature(my_func)
ix.docstring(my_func)
ix.source(my_func)
ix.members(my_pkg)

# Static analysis
ix.imports(file_path)
ix.call_graph(my_func)
ix.class_hierarchy(MyClass)
ix.examples(my_func)
ix.resolve("scitex.io.save")
```

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>MCP Server — for AI Agents</strong></summary>

<br>

Install with `pip install "scitex-introspect[mcp]"` and the package
exposes async handlers for IPython-style introspection over MCP — agents
can ask "what's the signature of X?" or "show me the source of Y" without
running Python themselves.

</details>

## Demo

```mermaid
flowchart LR
    A["scitex_introspect.q(obj)"] --> B[".signature + type hints"]
    A2["scitex_introspect.qq(obj)"] --> C[".source"]
    A3["scitex_introspect.dir(pkg)"] --> D[".members + .list_api"]
    A4["scitex_introspect.resolve('a.b.c')"] --> E["dotted-path lookup"]
    B & C & D & E --> F["agent / REPL output"]
```

```python
>>> import scitex_introspect as ix, json
>>> ix.q(json.loads)
json.loads(s, *, cls=None, object_hook=None, ...)
>>> ix.dir(json)[:3]
['JSONDecodeError', 'JSONDecoder', 'JSONEncoder']
```

## Quick Start

```python
import scitex_introspect as ix

ix.q(my_func)        # Signature with type hints (like `my_func?`)
ix.qq(my_func)       # Full source code (like `my_func??`)
ix.dir(my_pkg)       # List attributes/methods
```

## Status

Standalone fork of `scitex.introspect`. Pure stdlib core — zero runtime
deps. The umbrella package's `scitex.introspect` import path is preserved
via a `sys.modules`-alias bridge.

## Part of SciTeX

`scitex-introspect` is part of [**SciTeX**](https://scitex.ai). Install via
the umbrella with `pip install scitex[introspect]` to use as
`scitex.introspect` (Python) or `scitex introspect ...` (CLI).
