The repo scout for vibe codersSearch by words and meaning
Find it before you build it: popular, free-to-use, maintained repos for what you’re building.
Nothing you type is stored. · · · · · A Cardzo product

A build plan (a PRD — product requirements doc) your AI can code straight from. Replore doesn't write it — your own AI does, free and private. Copy the prompt below into any AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor…) or open it in Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. It lists the repos you selected.
Prompt copied — paste it into Gemini (it has no pre-fill link).
Long plan: each button copies the prompt first, then opens the assistant. Paste it there.

Plans work best with 10 or fewer repos. You picked — untick the weakest few for a sharper plan.
Open in Claude opens a new chat on your own claude.ai account with the prompt ready to send. (If it doesn't pre-fill, tap the copy icon and paste.) New to the plugin? .
Narrow your search — all optional. These apply to your next search.
Paste a repo you already like — owner/repo or a GitHub link — then type a few words in the
search box (e.g. “free ai call”) so I can narrow the similar repos to what you actually want.
Three steps, right in your browser — no account, no key.
Describe your project, tap Find, and get the repos that fit — relevant, popular, free to use.
Hybrid search: repos are ranked by your words and by what you mean, so "voice notes" also finds "speech-to-text". Repos our index finds that the word search missed are checked on GitHub before you see them.
Build a plan: tick the repos you like on the results, then tap Generate plan. Replore hands the picks to your own Claude (Copy, or Open in Claude), which writes a full build plan (a PRD) you can code straight from — free and private.
For AI-written searches and a whole PRD read feature by feature, use the plugin (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any AI agent).
Your own AI writes the searches, judges every result and shows every repo that fits, not just this page's list. In Claude Code it also reads a whole PRD feature by feature. Free and open source. Pick your agent:
python3 --version (Windows: python.org, tick "Add python.exe to PATH"; Mac: brew install python).claude in any folder, then paste:
/plugin marketplace add chittychat-studio/replore /plugin install replore@replore
/replore:find a diet app for iPhone, starting from scratch
Works with any model — Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, Cline — through MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open tool-connection standard all of them support.
python wherever it says python3.
git clone https://github.com/chittychat-studio/reploreThen
cd replore and run pwd (Windows: cd) — that prints the full path you need next.python3, argument
<that path>/scripts/mcp_server.py. Add the replore entry inside the existing list;
don't replace the file. Then restart the agent. The exact file and snippet for each agent are in the
README.find_repos tool and shows the comparison table.No MCP? Open the cloned folder in your agent. Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Cline
and Windsurf read AGENTS.md automatically; with any other agent say "follow AGENTS.md". It then
runs scripts/scout.py itself.

Replore has no account and no user database, and stores nothing you type. Our host counts page views with Cloudflare Web Analytics, without cookies (see below).
static.cloudflareinsights.com. It records the page
address (your searches are never in it), the referring site, your browser, operating system and device type, your
country and how fast the page loaded. It sets no cookie, stores nothing on your device, never sees what you type and
gives us only totals. Cloudflare handles it under its
privacy policy.api.web3forms.com), an email-forwarding service, to hello@cardzo.co.in. Nothing is
sent until you press Send.The plugin and MCP server run on your computer; your AI provider handles your conversation under its own terms. Full details, including the plugin's local safety log: PRIVACY.md. This is a plain description of how Replore works, not legal advice.
Results are ranked by fit: how well a repo matches your words, how popular it is (stars) and how freely you can use its license. So the top pick is relevant, popular and free to use, not just the most-starred. Each card says why it fits.
How this page searches: it splits what you describe into separate needs and searches GitHub for each, specific needs first. An AI check then reads the top 30 and moves repos that don't fit to the end, under "Less likely to fit". If the check is unavailable you get the keyword results unchanged. A search you repeat within an hour comes back instantly from your own browser.
The plugin goes further: your own AI writes the searches, judges every result and reads a whole plan feature by feature.
Limits: results are GitHub search matches, not a scan of every repository. Stars measure popularity, not quality, and can be bought. "Completely free?" and "OK in a paid product?" come from the license only: a plain summary, not legal advice. Some projects also sell a paid hosted version or add-ons.
Hybrid search: repos are ranked by your words and by what you mean, so "voice notes" also finds "speech-to-text". Repos our index finds that the word search missed are checked on GitHub before you see them.
