Discover open-source GitHub alternatives from a product idea through bounded, multi-round search, README inspection, evidence verification, and project comparison. Use for finding reusable open-source products or competitors; do not use for ordinary GitHub issue, PR, or code operations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Github Idea Finder

Find a defensible shortlist of GitHub repositories from a product idea. Search is an iterative discovery process, not a single keyword query. Do not claim exhaustive coverage.

## Agent Loop

0. Before creating a new session, if an experience file exists from previous
   sessions, read its digest so this session inherits prior lessons:

   ```powershell
   python scripts/github_discovery.py experience --experience-file work/github-idea-experience.md
   ```

   The digest reports how many lessons exist, which domains they cover, and
   the raw Markdown. Apply high-value lessons (working query families,
   effective judgment standards, known pitfalls) when building this session's
   Search Plan and evidence checks. Treat the digest as a starting point, not
   a constraint: verify against current README evidence as usual.

1. Apply the clarification gate before any search:
   - Decide whether the request already provides enough information to form a concrete Search Brief. A request is broad when product form, target user/use case, or the core outcome is still ambiguous (for example, "find an agriculture pest project").

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cxxcoolstar/github-idea-finder/github-idea-finder@sha256:5e0af1941d938944

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.d23cba6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
