contents The consistent construction of quantum field theories beyond the simplest cases requires a precise characterization of the propagating degrees of freedom. These are encoded in the single-pole structure of two-point functions, a connection firmly established through foundational theoretical work of the last century. While high-level programs for spectral analysis are publicly available, we felt the need to complement the existing landscape with a tool that reaches the gauge-invariant propagator by the shortest possible algorithmic path. This is the purpose of \texttt{Kummitus}, an open-source Wolfram Mathematica toolbox designed to do precisely that: compute the (gauge-invariant) propagator. Beyond its utility in research applications, \texttt{Kummitus} is intended as an accessible and transparent resource for the theoretical community, with particular value for pedagogical purposes.
