Absorb foreign repos into the Rust ecosystem

cannibalizer

Absorbs foreign repos into the Rust ecosystem.

Scans a source repo, classifies every file by kind (domain logic, port, adapter, script, spec, config), then routes each item to the right destination: ported to a hexagonal Rust component, absorbed into an existing repo, converted to a skill, or archived to the SSD vault.

Install

cargo install --path .

Or build from source:

cargo build --release
# binary at target/release/cnbl

CLI Pipeline

cnbl has a 4-stage pipeline. Each stage reads JSONL from the previous stage (stdin or --input FILE):

scan  -->  plan  -->  gen  -->  eat

Command	Input	Output	Side effects
`scan`	directory path	JSONL to stdout	none
`plan`	scan JSONL	JSONL to stdout	none
`gen`	plan JSONL	stub files	writes to `cnbl-output/`
`eat`	plan JSONL	nothing	copies stubs, archives

Examples

# Scan a repo and save classified output
cnbl scan ~/some-repo --output scan.jsonl

# Generate a routing plan (dry-run shows decisions without writing)
cnbl plan --input scan.jsonl --repo-map repos.json --dry-run

# Generate hexagonal Rust stubs from the plan
cnbl gen --input plan.jsonl --out-dir cnbl-output

# Apply: copy stubs into destination repos, archive originals
cnbl eat --input plan.jsonl --source-repo some-repo --dry-run

Claude Code Plugin

cannibalizer is also packaged as a Claude Code plugin with skills that wrap the CLI stages. Install via bazaar:

{
  "name": "cannibalizer",
  "source": { "source": "github", "repo": "89jobrien/cannibalizer" }
}

Skills in skills/ invoke the cnbl binary and present results interactively. The cannibalizer skill in skills/cnbl/SKILL.md orchestrates the full scan-plan-gen-eat pipeline with approval gates at each step.

Language Support

Language	Parser	Classification
Rust	tree-sitter	structural
Python	tree-sitter	structural
Go	tree-sitter	structural
Shell/Bash	tree-sitter	structural
TypeScript	none (planned)	path + lang
Nushell	none	lang only
Markdown	none	lang only
TOML/YAML	none	lang only
JSON/BAML	none	lang only

Languages without a tree-sitter grammar classify by path patterns and language detection only. TypeScript support is intentionally conservative -- all TS/TSX files are promoted to DomainLogic unless a higher-priority path rule (adapter, port, entrypoint) matches first.
