Why RepoKeeper?

Open source maintenance is a second job you didn't sign up for. Existing tools help you write code faster — Copilot, Cursor, Codeium. But what about everything else? Triaging issues, bumping dependencies, diagnosing CI, responding to the community?

Copilot helps you write code. RepoKeeper runs your repo while you sleep.

	Copilot / Cursor	RepoKeeper
What it does	Suggests code as you type	Maintains your repo autonomously
How	Inline completion in editor	Reads issues + codebase → opens PRs
When	While you code	24/7 on schedule
Community	No	Monitors, classifies, responds
Dependencies	No	Scans for outdated deps, reports upgrade candidates
CI	No	Diagnoses failures, suggests fixes
Cost	$10–39/month subscription	~$0.01 per PR with DeepSeek
Config	IDE settings	One YAML (or zero)

What It Does

• 🔭 Community Radar — Monitors GitHub issues for keywords. AI classifies hits. Drafts responses. Notifies you.
• 🔍 Daily Patrol — Scans dependencies, diagnoses CI failures, finds stale issues. Health score every weekday morning.
• 🤖 Implementation Agent — Reads your codebase + issue → implements → pushes branch → opens PR. You never write a line.
• 👤 Maintainer Profile — One YAML file describing your code style, tone, PR standards. Or skip it — defaults work.

Adopt in 60 Seconds

1. Copy one workflow

mkdir -p .github/workflows
curl -o .github/workflows/repokeeper.yml \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shenxianpeng/repokeeper/main/src/repokeeper/templates/workflows/repokeeper.yml

2. Add your API key

Settings → Secrets → Actions → New secret: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY = sk-...

3. Trigger the agent

Label any issue agent-todo — or comment @repokeeper go.

No Python. No install. No repokeeper.yml. Just works.

Want more? Copy radar.yml and patrol.yml too for community monitoring and daily health checks.
