Guides
Build a watchlist
Turn important repositories into a low-noise signal queue.
Watch should stay small and intentional.
Small watchlists produce better briefs
Watch is not a second star list. It should contain repos where future changes can affect a decision or workflow.
Adoption candidates
Repos you may use soon and want release or activity context for.
Critical dependencies
Frameworks, libraries, and infrastructure that can affect your build path.
Market signals
Projects whose movement tells you where a stack or ecosystem is going.
If a repo stops mattering, unwatch it. Watch quality matters more than Watch count.
Watch decision
| Question | If yes | If no |
|---|---|---|
| Would a release change matter? | Watch it. | Save it instead. |
| Do you revisit the repo often? | Watch it. | Let Explore rediscover it later. |
| Is it only generally interesting? | Save it. | Hide it if it is noise. |
| Is the repo stale but still important? | Watch with caution. | Remove it from Watch. |
Suggested routine
Start with a focused list of repos that affect current work.
Read the first brief and ask a follow-up if the value is unclear.
Unwatch repos that do not change decisions after a few briefs.
