How It Works

The Vault is fully automated — no manual curation needed after initial setup.

Every Sunday 8AM UTC
  └─ GitHub Actions workflow runs
       ├─ Discovers new repos (GitHub topic search + starred repos)
       ├─ Deduplicates against existing tools.json
       ├─ Categorizes new finds via Claude API
       ├─ Refreshes star counts & flags archived repos
       ├─ Generates this README from tools.json
       ├─ Commits & pushes to this repo
       └─ Triggers Vercel redeploy of blacktemple.net
             └─ Prebuild fetches latest tools.json
                  └─ blacktemple.net/vault shows fresh data

Pipeline Details

Component	Description
Discovery	Searches GitHub API across 30 security/AI/dev topic queries (≥500 stars), plus syncs starred repos (≥250 stars)
Deduplication	Checks against existing tools.json by repo full name
Quality gate	Star thresholds filter out unvetted repos: 500+ for search, 250+ for starred, 200+ for existing
Categorization	Claude API (claude-sonnet-4-20250514) assigns category, subcategory, and editorial note
Metadata refresh	Rotates through 1/4 of all tools per run, updating star counts, archived/stale status, and pruning sub-threshold entries
Rate limiting	15s between Claude API batches, 60s backoff + retry on 429s, 3s between GitHub search calls
Website sync	Vercel deploy hook triggers rebuild; prebuild fetches tools.json from this repo
