## Overview

This repository is a curated directory of installable engineering-AI tools, not an application that runs a tool workflow itself. A developer consults the list, chooses a category and an entry, then uses that external tool. The README documents the categories and selection criteria, but no source code or further README content was provided; links below represent documented navigation and the general use model, not implementation-level calls.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/lancetnik/awesome-engineering-ai/blob/main/README.md) (Curated list)
