starepo（starepo 搜索）

Starepo — GitHub Stars Semantic Search

Use the starepo CLI to help users find repositories in their GitHub starred collection through hybrid (vector + full-text) search.

When to Use

• User asks: "find my starred repos about X", "search my stars for Y"
• User wants to recall a repo they starred but can't remember the name
• User asks to list stars filtered by language, topic, or date
• User wants to see details about a specific starred repo

Setup (First Time)

Run these steps once. Skip any step that's already done.

# 1. Authenticate with GitHub (Device Flow — no token needed)
npx starepo auth

# 2. Sync starred repos and generate embeddings automatically
npx starepo sync

Check sync status anytime:

npx starepo list --limit 5

Semantic Search

# Search by meaning (recommended)
npx starepo search "fast key-value store in Rust"
npx starepo search "react state management without boilerplate"
npx starepo search "machine learning in Python"

# With language filter
npx starepo search "http server" --lang Go

# With topic filter
npx starepo search "ui components" --topic react

# JSON output (for further processing)
npx starepo search "cli tools" --json

# Control number of results (default: 10)
npx starepo search "databases" --limit 20

# Sort results (default: relevance)
npx starepo search "vector database" --sort stars    # most starred first
npx starepo search "react" --sort forks --order asc  # fewest forks first

List & Filter

# List all starred repos
npx starepo list

# Filter by language
npx starepo list --lang TypeScript

# Filter by topic
npx starepo list --topic "machine-learning"

# Filter by date starred
npx starepo list --since 2026-01-01
npx starepo list --days 30        # starred in last 30 days
npx starepo list --since 2026-01-01 --until 2026-03-01

# Sort results (default: starred desc — most recently starred first)
npx starepo list --sort stars              # most starred first
npx starepo list --sort updated            # recently updated first
npx starepo list --sort starred --order asc  # oldest starred first

Repo Details

npx starepo info facebook/react
npx starepo info vercel/next.js

Sync & Embed

# Smart sync (incremental if synced before, full otherwise)
npx starepo sync

# Force full sync
npx starepo sync --force

# Fix incomplete embeddings (optional, only if semantic search feels off)
npx starepo embed --force

MCP Server (for Claude Desktop / Cursor)

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "starepo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["starepo", "serve"]
    }
  }
}

Workflow Tips

1. First search fails or returns nothing → Run npx starepo sync
2. Stale results → Run npx starepo sync to fetch new stars (smart incremental)
3. Poor semantic relevance → Run npx starepo embed --force to fix incomplete embeddings
4. Filter + search → Combine --query with --lang/--topic/--days for precise results
5. Automation → Use --json flag to pipe results to jq or other tools
