# GitHub Stars Radar
Use this skill when a task may benefit from the user's own starred repositories: library selection, MCP/plugin discovery, prompt/tool examples, reference implementations, or prior art for Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes.
## When To Search Local Stars First
- The user asks for reusable projects, libraries, plugins, MCP servers, or example repos.
- The task resembles something the user may have already saved for later.
- You need a shortlist of candidates before broader web research.
- You want to avoid repeating analysis already saved in local agent memory.
Call `search_stars` for keyword lookup, `recommend_stars_for_task` for task-based ranking, and `get_star` for one known repo. Use `sync_stars` for a fast metadata refresh; use `sync_readmes` only when README text is needed, and run it in small batches.
## When External Research Is Still Required
For major route decisions, do not rely only on local stars. You must search the web and compare at least 3 mature external projects when the decision affects:
- architecture shape
- repository structure
- commercialization or distribution
- license
- payment or account systems
- deployment, compliance, or security route
Local stars are a memory aid, not proof of current best practice.
## Output Shape
When recommending repos, include:
- repository name
- why it fits
- why it may not fit
- cost or risk
- next verification step
If local sync fails but stale cache is available, keep working and
