AI product builder and founder of Clipwise and Xod, based in San Francisco. Replit Ambassador since January 2026. I ship full-stack products solo with AI coding tools (React frontends, Python backends, MCP servers, agent pipelines), then teach other people to do the same: 200+ hackathons, hands-on workshops across the Bay Area, and mentoring non-technical founders.

Pre-flight checks for open-source contributions. Point it at any GitHub issue and it tells you if the issue is actually landable: verdicts (GO / RISKY / TAKEN / GATED / STALE), repo friction scores, and scan mode that ranks a repo's good first issues. Ships as a CLI and an MCP server, born from vetting real issues by hand, then automated end to end. 170 tests, CI green on Node 20 and 24.

Release v0.3.2

Install: npx @reneturcios/greenlight check <issue-url>. All four toolkit packages are on npm under @reneturcios/ and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.CloudCorpRecords/greenlight, prwatch, claimcheck and gatefile.

Since v0.2 it also runs the pipeline after the verdict: claim, prep and pr commands (plus MCP tools) with dry-run-by-default writes, gate-aware claim comments, repo conventions learned into a prep checklist, and DCO verification before a PR opens. v0.3 added house-rules gates from AGENTS.md files and detection for issues that already shipped in part.

Greenlight is one of four tools I built out of a single day of real open-source contribution work, one per stage of the lifecycle:

• prwatch: after you submit. Ranks your open PRs by what needs attention (changes requested, unresolved threads, real failing checks, conflicts, reviewer silence), with external blockers like Vercel authorization classified separately
• claimcheck: while you work. Finds stale issue claims aging with no PR, and parked fixes: finished work on fork branches that never became a PR
• gatefile: for maintainers. Extracts a repo's hidden contribution gates from its docs into a machine-readable contribution-gates.json, with a drift validator for CI

Both flagship projects are MIT-licensed and open to contributors of every level, including first-timers.

• Clipwise — MCP-first AI video clipping: submit a long video, get captioned vertical clips back, each moment scored for hook, story and payoff. Agents can drive the whole pipeline over MCP. Live: clipwise.replit.app
• SudoHired — AI platform for automated technology recruiting
• TaskCato — an accessible agent harness that lets everyday users run AI agents on projects and workflow automation
• Agentcies — an AI agent platform for small businesses, with infrastructure for agent-to-agent communication
• mcp-directory — searchable directory of MCP servers with a live in-browser playground: connect to any server and call its tools, no install needed
• agent-evals — open eval harness + leaderboard: point it at any AI agent, get scored on tool-use, accuracy, and latency
• mcp-job-tracker — MCP server over a job-application tracker: ask Claude about your pipeline, find stale leads, check reply status
• resume-sync — CLI that regenerates your resume's Projects section from GitHub pinned repos, as Markdown or DOCX
• AI-Course-Creator — a complete course on building software with AI, the same material I teach in workshops
• system-monitor — macOS system monitor with a built-in agentic AI assistant (Ollama), live CPU, memory, disk, network and battery views

• IBM ContextForge — #181 (merged): moved prompt/resource argument forms onto the shared accessible Field component, with the tests and i18n cleanup that go with it
• Sage — #302 (merged): extended the docs link checker to cover the knowledge hub, with regression tests; the maintainer independently re-verified it
• pdfcn (shadcn-labs) — six registry blocks and components in review, each claimed, built and review-fixed the same day: Business Letter, Resume, Cover Letter, Project Proposal, Quarterly Report, Addresses
• Reticle — #1620 (in review): fixed the destructive-action guard judging selectable items by their whole text, with red-first regression tests and a changelog entry per the repo's house rules
• Reticle — #1633, #1634, #1635 (in review): upload through hidden dropzone inputs, a pre-writable selector in the split-text hint, and geometry assertions (fully in viewport, overlap, clipped text) for element predicates; #1636 makes a failed browser launch name the exact Chromium path it checked
• Firecrawl — #5141 (in review): fixed the map and extract search builders corrupting URLs by stripping www. from anywhere in the string instead of only the hostname, with a shared helper and unit tests for the corrupted cases
• Firecrawl — #5164 (in review): made the crawler's JS link-filter fallback enforce the same host scoping as the native filter, so crawls cannot silently wander off-site when the native filter fails
• FastMCP — #5757 (in review): wired the per-server timeout in MCP client configs into the session read timeout, so a config that looks capped no longer runs unlimited
• Squidbrake — #91 (merged): added a taint signal so approvers see when an agent edits its own setup right after reading outside content
• Plus more in review across Go, Python and TypeScript projects: all my pull requests
