kitbash
Decide what to borrow, adapt, or write before building something. Use when the user describes an app, tool, CLI, or feature they want to build and needs to know which parts already exist as open-source GitHub repos (BORROW), which are worth reading and adapting (KITBASH), and which to just write (WRITE). Every repository named is checked against the live GitHub API, so invented ones never reach the user.
Why this score
Popularity score: 64/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 858e6eab6357, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
