Know if a GitHub project will run on your computer before you clone it. Paste any repo link and get its setup manual: a yes/no verdict for macOS, Windows or Linux, everything you need to install, and the exact steps, or one setup script. It reads the repo's own files, no AI guessing, and links to the maintainers' guide when unsure. Swap "hub" for "manual" in any GitHub URL, use the Chrome extension, or the MCP server for AI assistants. Works on private repos. Free and open source.

Could you build this?
Yes The tool reads a repository's files and uses an LLM to generate an OS compatibility verdict and install steps. Fetching repo contents via the GitHub API and prompting a model are both well within vibe-coding reach.
