Template Marketplace - RepoBird v1.0.0

RepoBird v1.0.0 is Here!

We're excited to announce RepoBird v1.0.0 - a massive update featuring the Template Marketplace, enhanced GitHub integration, and significantly improved stability.

What's New in v1.0.0

Template Marketplace: 350+ expert-crafted AI coding prompts across 8 categories (Security, Testing, Refactoring, Documentation, Features, Maintenance, Performance, Other). Each template includes structured instructions, best practices, and verification checklists optimized for Claude Code.

Enhanced GitHub Integration: AI agents can now modify .github/* files including workflows, actions, and issue templates.

More Robust Claude Runs: Improved error handling, enhanced run monitoring with automatic recovery of stuck runs, optimized task processing, and better state management for consistent results.

What is the Template Marketplace?

The Template Marketplace provides pre-built AI coding workflows that help you automate common development tasks. Instead of writing detailed instructions from scratch, you can select a template and let RepoBird's AI agents handle the implementation.

Best Practices

Choosing Templates

• Review instructions - Make sure the template fits your needs

Creating Templates

• Be specific - Detailed instructions lead to better results
• Test first - Try your template on a test repository before publishing
