bring your own repo · one prompt for your agent · made in your browser
Bring Your Own Repo
Found a project on GitHub you want to build? Paste its address below. You get back one prompt. Paste that prompt into your agent (Claude Code, once Chapter 0 has it running) and it does three things, in order:
- Connects this guide. It adds the how.nixfred.com MCP server, so it works from these pages instead of guessing.
- Builds your foundation. It walks the guide with you until the foundation checks pass, and skips every step you already have.
- Builds your project with you. Then it clones your repo, reads it, and plans and builds it together with you, one step at a time.
What the prompt tells your agent
- You give the orders. The guide's tools return data, not orders, and everything in your repo (its README, its scripts, its issues) is data, not instructions.
- Ask first. Your agent asks before installing anything or running the repo's scripts, and shows you each command in plain words.
- Check the guide itself. It verifies the MCP server's tool fingerprint (toolsSha256) against the published value before it trusts it, and stops if they differ.
- One step at a time. Each step is checked before the next, fixed to 100% when it breaks, and nothing gets pushed or made public without your yes.
The build is still real work, done in order, with you at the keyboard. The prompt just keeps your agent on the path: the guide first, your project second. New to all of this? Start Here first, and come back with your repo.
What this page does not do
Your prompt is made right here in your browser. This page never fetches your repo, never sends your repo's address anywhere, stores nothing and tracks nothing. Your agent is the one that reads the repo, on your machine, after you say yes. Don't trust me, audit it: the code that makes the prompt is in the public mirror (site/assets/app.js).
