name: add-project description: Add new GitHub projects to nibzard-web projects page. Fetches repo metadata via gh CLI, generates appropriate topics, and formats entries for src/pages/projects.astro. Use when user says "add project", "add to projects page", or mentions adding GitHub repos to the site. allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Edit

Add Project to nibzard-web

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the gh CLI installed and authenticated:

gh auth status

If not authenticated, run gh auth login first.

Quick workflow

For each GitHub repo to add:

1. Fetch metadata using gh CLI:

   gh repo view OWNER/REPO --json name,description,repositoryTopics,primaryLanguage,languages,createdAt,updatedAt
   

   If this fails with "repository not found", verify the repo exists and is accessible.

2. Fetch README if description is empty or missing:

   gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/readme | jq -r '.content' | base64 -d | head -50
   

3. Generate topics if repositoryTopics is null:

   • Derive from: repo description, README content, primary language
   • Use 3-5 relevant lowercase tags (e.g., "ai", "database", "zig", "embedded")

4. Read the projects file to understand current format:

   src/pages/projects.astro
   

5. Add the entry to the projects array using this format:

   {
     title: "repo-name",
     url: "https://github.com/OWNER/REPO",
     description: "Brief description from gh or README",
     topics: ["topic1", "topic2", "topic3"],
     date: "YYYY-MM-DD"  // use createdAt date
   }
   

6. Insert before the closing ].sort(...) line

Date format

Use createdAt from gh CLI, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD (extract from ISO date like "2026-01-12T11:00:03Z").

Verification

After adding, run:

pnpm run build

Example

# Fetch repo info
gh repo view nibzard/scribe --json name,description,repositoryTopics,primaryLanguage,languages,createdAt,updatedAt

# Result: description="Distraction-Free Writing firmware for the M5stack ESP32 based Tab5 device", createdAt="2026-01-12T11:00:03Z"

# Entry to add:
{
  title: "scribe",
  url: "https://github.com/nibzard/scribe",
  description: "Distraction-Free Writing firmware for the M5stack ESP32 based Tab5 device",
  topics: ["firmware", "embedded", "esp32", "writing", "m5stack"],
  date: "2026-01-12"
}

Notes

• The array is auto-sorted by date (newest first)
• Use kebab-case for title matching repo name
• Keep descriptions under ~100 characters
• Topics should be single words or hyphenated terms
