Graveyard Reanimator

A spooky tool that scans GitHub graveyards for abandoned projects and uses AI to literally bring them back to life. Paste in a dead repo, and it modernizes dependencies, adds tests, and more

What It Does

GitHub Graveyard Reanimator is a Halloween-themed web application that breathes new life into abandoned GitHub repositories. Users paste in a repository URL, and the tool performs AI-powered analysis across five critical areas:

  • Dependencies: Detects outdated packages, security vulnerabilities, and missing TypeScript support. Generates modernized package.json files.
  • Configuration: Identifies missing or outdated configs (TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier) and generates modern setup files.
  • Tests: Checks for test coverage gaps and CI/CD pipelines. Creates Jest configurations and GitHub Actions workflows.
  • Documentation: Analyzes README quality and generates comprehensive documentation with proper structure.
  • Code Quality: Evaluates JavaScript vs TypeScript usage and suggests type-safe refactoring approaches.

The experience features a dramatic "reanimation" sequence with lightning effects, animated backgrounds, and visual feedback as each component is analyzed. Users can view AI-generated fixes and download a complete ZIP file with all modernized configurations and code.

Tech Stack

Built with Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Uses OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini for intelligent analysis and the GitHub REST API for repository inspection.
