# Find Relevant GitHub Repositories

Finding useful open source repositories is slow when queries are broad and results are noisy. This skill turns requirements into GitHub searches, filters candidates, and returns a structured recommendation report.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add yunshu0909/github-repo-search

## Capabilities

- Captures topic, result count, star threshold, sort mode, and target repository type before searching.
- Builds 5 to 10 GitHub search queries from user goals, synonyms, scenarios, and technical terms.
- Applies default filters for public, active repositories with at least 100 stars.
- Deduplicates candidates by owner and repository name.
- Classifies repositories by role, such as framework, product, service, or curated list.
- Produces a ranked table with rationale, metadata, risks, and next steps.

## Use Cases

- Compare Framework Options: Assess open source frameworks for a technical direction with ranking criteria and repository summaries.
- Build a Research Shortlist: Create a focused list of repositories for market research, technical planning, or ecosystem mapping.
- Track Ecosystem Alternatives: Find active alternatives in a GitHub category and compare their fit, maturity, and maintenance signals.

## Prompt Templates

### Find Beginner-Friendly Projects

```
Find the top 10 public GitHub repositories for learning RAG systems. Use the default star threshold and explain why each project fits.
```

### Compare Tools by Language

```
Search GitHub for browser automation tools in Python and TypeScript. Separate ready-to-use products from developer frameworks.
```

### Research a Production Stack

```
Find public GitHub repositories for agent memory infrastructure. Prioritize active projects with clear docs, licenses, and recent maintenance.
```

### Create a Weighted Repository Report

```
Search GitHub for MCP server frameworks. Use 5 to 10 query variants, deduplicate results, apply the default filters, and rank by relevance, maturity, activity, documentation, and stars.
```

## Limitations

- Searches public GitHub repositories only.
- Does not use private tokens by default, so API rate limits may apply.
- Does not install, run, or validate repositories unless separately requested.
- Results can change as GitHub data and project activity change.

## Best Practices

- Confirm topic, target form, sort mode, and result count before search.
- Provide clear exclusions, preferred languages, and maintenance expectations.
- Review licenses, activity, documentation, and security posture before adoption.

## Anti Patterns

- Ask for broad best repositories without a topic or selection criteria.
- Treat star count as the only ranking signal.
- Use the report as proof that a repository is secure or production-ready.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-08T13:47:11.692\+00:00
- Summary: All external command findings are false positives caused by Markdown backticks around examples, filters, and field names. The high-entropy heuristic is also a false positive because SKILL.md is readable Markdown with Chinese text and no obfuscated payload. No prompt injection or semantic misuse evidence found.
