fork-it
Method: search GitHub before building from scratch, fork the closest match, then make it yours.
Language
Reply in the user's language. Script output is language-neutral (English repo data); translate names, descriptions, and your commentary when presenting.
When to use
- User wants to build / create / make something new (any language), or invokes
/fork-it. - Skip when: debugging or fixing existing code, learning/teaching, asking about a specific function/algorithm/regex, or they've already chosen a base project.
Workflow
- Search with their keywords:
node scripts/github-search.mjs "keywords" --language js --min-stars 50 --limit 5 - Analyze each result by fit:
- Great match → fork & customize
- Partial match → fork & extend (add the missing piece)
- Reference only → study the approach, then build your own
- Nothing fits → build fresh
- Recommend the best 1–3 candidates (stars / language / what it gives them) with the suggested path. If nothing fits, say so and encourage a from-scratch build.
- Details on demand — when the user leans toward one repo, fetch more with:
node scripts/repo-detail.mjs "owner/repo"
