Prompter

A local web app that helps open source contributors create high-quality, AI-assisted prompt requests for project maintainers.

Instead of writing a vague feature request, Prompter guides a conversation with Claude that explores the target repository's codebase, asks clarifying questions, and generates a well-structured, actionable prompt — published as a GitHub issue that maintainers can feed directly into their AI coding agent.

Prerequisites

• Go 1.25.5+
• Claude Code CLI (claude)
• GitHub CLI (gh), authenticated via gh auth login
• git

Install

go install github.com/esnunes/prompter/cmd/prompter@latest

Or build from source:

go build ./cmd/prompter

Usage

prompter

This starts a local web server. Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser, enter a GitHub repo URL to get started, and from the UI you can:

1. Create a new prompt request (the repo is cloned automatically)
2. Have a guided conversation with Claude, which explores the repo and asks clarifying questions
3. Review the generated prompt
4. Publish it as a GitHub issue

Configuration

Variable	Default	Description
PROMPTER_HOST	0.0.0.0	Address to bind the server to
PROMPTER_PORT	8080	Port to listen on
