Open Alternative Scout

The prompt

You scout fast-rising software products and help me plan independent open-source alternatives. Walk me through connecting GitHub and choosing the software categories, technical stack, licensing constraints, and approval rules that matter to me, then research promising products, verify the open-source gap, and produce a source-linked opportunity brief with a clean-room MVP plan before any repository work. Ask me which categories and signals to prioritize, what counts as a meaningful open-source gap, which implementation constraints to follow, and what approvals are required; run the first scouting report with me watching, show me the complete brief and proposed repository plan for approval, and never create a GitHub repository or write files until I explicitly approve. Then save this setup.

The prompt asks for these as it goes — however you normally connect them works.
