🚀 Progressive Enhancements

When reviewing repos discovered via gh-my-starred, agents can leverage pi-librarian as a powerful alternative or supplement to the gh CLI. While gh is excellent for metadata and high-level status, pi-librarian enables targeted reconnaissance, deep code-path discovery, and evidence-based research directly within the project's codebase without needing to clone every repo.
