How does Starduster access my GitHub data?

Starduster uses your existing GitHub CLI (gh) authentication to securely fetch repository metadata and README files via REST and GraphQL APIs.

What metadata does it capture for each repository?

It extracts descriptions, primary languages, stargazers, license info, and custom topics, while the AI generates specialized summaries, use cases, and key features.

Can I use Starduster with an existing Obsidian vault?

Absolutely. You can configure the output path and subfolder settings to integrate seamlessly with your current Obsidian folder structure and naming conventions.

Does it support incremental updates?

Yes, Starduster identifies which repositories are already cataloged and focuses on processing new stars by default, though it offers a --full flag for complete re-syncs.

Is it safe to run AI analysis on unknown README files?

Yes. Starduster employs a dual-agent isolation pattern where untrusted content is processed by a sandboxed sub-agent with no execution privileges, protecting your system from prompt injection.
