Description

@transitive-bullshit

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

  • add ability to search starred repos
  • add ability to star a repo

Proposed solution

Many people use github stars as their own personal curated subset of projects that pass their own vibe check. For example, I have over 5k starred repos https://github.com/transitive-bullshit?tab=stars

I'd love for my agents to be able to reference these referred projects when deciding on which dependencies to use or approaches to take.

Thanks 🙏

Would love to see such a feature, doing the same with my github stars 👍

Can you both provide some example prompts of where you would expect these new proposed tools to be called? Thanks!

"Help me select a TS package for doing X. Give preference to projects I've previously starred on github. Evaluate and compare the projects based on how well they fit my current TS project setup, their relative popularity, license, maintenance, features, etc."

@LukasPoque

I like to use it for something like this:

I'm looking for X (e.g. "an open-source note-taking tool") that I starred on my GitHub account a while back. Please search through all my stars and find candidates for X ("this tool").

When testing with Claude, it found all my 5 related repositories with this single prompt after scanning all my 650+ stars. When I use the search on the GitHub star page, only one repo is showing up -> this is why I wanted an LLM integration to my stars in the first place.
