How padubrulleadeo/ainvestigator works
Purpose and Delivery Model
This repository packages ainvestigator as a TypeScript-based GitHub Action. The action definition is the integration boundary for GitHub Actions consumers, while prebuilt JavaScript in dist/ is the runtime artifact executed by the Actions runner.
Paths: action.yml, package.json, dist/index.js
Action Entry Boundary
action.yml is the public contract: it defines how workflows invoke the action and which bundled entrypoint GitHub executes. CI coverage for that execution model is represented by the repository workflow.
Paths: action.yml, .github/workflows/testAction.yml
TypeScript Application Entrypoints
The source application is split into an initial entry module and a main orchestration module. src/index.ts is the likely process/action bootstrap; src/main.ts contains the principal action behavior invoked from that bootstrap. This separation is the main control-flow boundary between startup/error handling and business execution.
Paths: src/index.ts, src/main.ts
Build Artifact and Runtime
GitHub Actions executes committed CommonJS-style JavaScript rather than TypeScript source. dist/index.js and dist/main.js are compiled/bundled counterparts to the source modules; declaration files and source maps support type consumers and debugging but are not the primary runner interface.
Paths: dist/index.js, dist/main.js, dist/index.d.ts
Execution Flow
The expected flow is:
1. A workflow references the action through action.yml.
2. The GitHub runner starts the configured bundled file under Node.js.
3. The bootstrap module delegates to main action logic.
4. The action reports outcomes back through the GitHub Actions runtime contract.
The action runner and GitHub workflow environment are the material infrastructure dependencies. No other external service or runtime is identifiable from the supplied repository structure.
Paths: action.yml, dist/index.js, .github/workflows/testAction.yml
Build and Type Boundaries
package.json and the lockfile define the Node/TypeScript dependency and reproducible installation boundary. tsconfig.json governs source-to-JavaScript compilation. Committed dist/ output is architecturally important because action consumers run it directly; source changes must be reflected there for releases.
Paths: package.json, package-lock.json, tsconfig.json, dist/
Main entry points: index.js Bundled entrypoint · main.js Bundled main logic · tsconfig.json TypeScript config · index.ts Bootstrap module
Components 12
Action Delivery

dist/index.js - Bundled main logic
dist/main.js
TypeScript Source
- Bootstrap module · Handles startup before delegating action behavior.
src/index.ts - Main action logic · Principal action behavior.
src/main.ts
Build Boundary
