So what is it?

Adrenaline is an AI tool for answering technical questions. You ask it something, it answers. The questions can be about general programming concepts, specific GitHub repositories, documentation websites, or code snippets you paste in. It can also search the internet to ground its answers in current sources. This GitHub repository is described as an issues-only page, meaning the actual application lives on the Adrenaline website rather than in this repo. The repository exists so users can file bug reports and feature requests, which the README says directly shapes how the product develops. According to the README, the tool supports multi-step reasoning for complex questions and can generate diagrams to explain technical concepts visually. The README does not go into technical detail about how any of this works, and the source code is not present here. If you want to try it, the README points to the Adrenaline website.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I pasted a GitHub repo URL into Adrenaline and want to understand its architecture. What kind of questions should I ask to get the most useful technical breakdown?

Prompt 2

How do I use Adrenaline to get an explanation of a specific function from a codebase I don't understand?

Prompt 3

I want to ask Adrenaline about a documentation site for a library I'm learning. How do I point it at external docs rather than a GitHub repo?

Prompt 4

Help me write a clear bug report for the Adrenaline issues tracker that includes the expected behavior, actual behavior, and steps to reproduce.

Prompt 5

What is multi-step reasoning in Adrenaline and when does it produce a diagram versus a text answer?
