dsh-prospector

Before writing a single line of new code, the step most often skipped is open-source prospecting: what already exists, what each candidate contributes, and what still needs to be built from scratch. dsh-prospector turns that workflow into a native Agent capability. The model autonomously searches repositories, reads READMEs and source files, lists file trees, and shallow-clones candidates into the workspace, then synthesizes an actionable implementation plan rather than handing you a list of links to browse yourself.

Five tools cover the full range from broad to granular research: search repositories by keyword, topic, language, or star count; fetch a README; read a specific source file; list directory structure; and clone a candidate into an isolated workspace subfolder. The /research command kicks off low, medium, or high depth research in one call, progressing from README-only scanning to multi-file core source reading, full tree inspection, and multi-repo clone comparison. Each research topic gets its own folder, and results persist in the local workspace for later review.

Built for developers who need a technology comparison, pre-build competitive scan, or deep due-diligence pass. When you are unsure whether to build or adopt, need to weigh candidate projects on activity, structure, and adoptability, or must assess integration and licensing risk, let it look through everything first so you can decide the next step with evidence in hand.
