 Analysis-Ready Code (ARC) is a Python-based utility designed to recursively scan directories and transform source code into a format optimized for AI and computer analysis. By stripping comments, filtering specific file types, and optionally compressing content, ARC ensures that your code is clean and ready for automated processing.
