✦ GitHub repo finder for vibe coders
Popular, free to use, still maintained — so you stop scrolling GitHub and start shipping.
🔒 Nothing you type is stored. Your search goes to GitHub and an AI fit-check; we keep neither.
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. It lists the repos you selected.
Too many repos for the Open in Claude link. Tap the copy icon above and paste into Claude or any AI — or untick a few repos.
Open in Claude opens a new chat on your own claude.ai account with the prompt ready to send. (If your browser doesn't pre-fill it, just 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.
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, a relevance check, and a whole PRD read feature by feature, use the plugin (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any AI agent).
The smart version has your AI write the searches, judge which results fit, and show every suitable repo — not just this page's list. In Claude Code it also reads a whole PRD feature by feature. Free & 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.

You've got a shortlist. Here's how to go from "a list of repos" to actually building, in three steps.
Remember: stars are popularity, not quality, and a license is a plain summary, not legal advice.
Replore has no account, no database and no visitor analytics, and stores nothing you type. Its only server code is a small relevance check that passes your search to an AI and keeps none of it; if that check fails, it records only the error type and time so we can fix it.
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 and popular and free to use, not just the most-starred. Each card says why it's relevant. This page is keyword search: it matches your words, not their meaning. The plugin goes further: it writes smarter searches with AI, runs a semantic relevance check, and reads a whole plan feature by feature. 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?" are read from the license only — a plain summary, not legal advice; some projects also sell a paid hosted version or add-ons.
