Skills (5)

• document-findings

  Write GitHub research findings into a planning/ folder in the current repository, always date-stamped so results stay interpretable as the tooling landscape evolves. Creates planning/ if it does not already exist. Records the exact gh queries used so the research is reproducible.

• evaluate-candidates

  Deep-dive evaluation of 2–5 candidate GitHub repos the user is seriously considering using, forking, or integrating. Pulls README, code-quality signals, contributor count, commit cadence, open-issue ratio, release history, and license to produce a concrete recommendation.

• find-alternatives

  Given a known GitHub project, find similar or competing projects that solve the same problem. Useful when the user has heard of one option but wants to survey the landscape before committing, or suspects a project they're using has better-maintained alternatives.

• search-ai-tools

  Search GitHub for AI/ML-related tools with heavy weighting on recency, since stale AI projects (unmaintained 6+ months) are usually worthless given how fast the ecosystem moves. Use when the user is looking for AI libraries, MCP servers, LLM tooling, agents, prompt frameworks, or ML utilities.

• search-repos

  Search GitHub for repositories matching a topic or keyword using the gh CLI, rank by stars and maintenance signals, and return a shortlist of candidates. Use when the user asks whether a tool already exists for a given purpose, or wants an overview of popular projects in a space.

Slash commands (7)

• /github-explorer:create-resources-index

  Bundle GitHub findings from this session (or a supplied list of repos) into a curated resources index repository — categorised, sorted, and presented according to a user-defined spec. Public or private.

• /github-explorer:evaluate-repo

  Deep evaluation of a single GitHub repo as a candidate for the user's project — fit, maintenance, risk, integration effort. Longer and more opinionated than overview-repo.

• /github-explorer:find-component

  Search GitHub for reusable open-source components matching a keyword or problem description. Returns a ranked shortlist (stars, activity, fit) with a one-line verdict per repo.

• /github-explorer:find-similar-repos

  Given a seed GitHub repo and a description of what the user wants more of, find similar repos. The user names the angle of similarity (purpose, tech stack, UX, niche) so results aren't just "same topic tags".

• /github-explorer:ingest-to-index

  Ingest one or more GitHub repos into an existing resources index created by /github-explorer:create-resources-index. Dedupes against repos.json, enriches metadata, classifies per the index's scheme, and updates README.md + filtered views.

• /github-explorer:overview-repo

  Quick overview of a single GitHub repo — what it is, who maintains it, is it alive, should you care. Short and punchy, not a deep eval.

• /github-explorer:recommend-for-project

  Recommend open-source GitHub repos that fit the current project. Reads the repo's CLAUDE.md / manifest files to infer stack and needs, then surfaces top candidates with a rationale per pick.

Subagents (1)

• component-scout

  Multi-repo evaluation sub-agent. Given a shortlist of GitHub repos (or a search query), fetches metadata for each, evaluates them against the user's need, and returns a ranked comparative report. Use when the user wants more than a shortlist — a side-by-side comparison with verdicts.
