Github Repo Analyzer

What This Skill Does

The GitHub Repo Analyzer by dagangtj is a powerful diagnostic tool designed for OpenClaw agents to interface directly with GitHub repositories. It provides deep visibility into the health, maintenance status, and technical composition of open-source and private projects. By leveraging the analyze_repo tool, the agent can extract precise metadata regarding project growth, developer activity, and technology stacks, saving developers hours of manual research.

Installation

You can integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment by executing the following command in your terminal or command-line interface:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dagangtj/github-repo-analyzer

Once installed, the agent will have the permissions required to query the GitHub API and provide you with real-time insights.

Use Cases

• Technical Due Diligence: Quickly evaluate if a library is abandoned or actively maintained before including it in your production stack.
• Contributor Profiling: Identify the top contributors to a repository to understand project governance or reach out for collaboration.
• Tech Stack Identification: Instantly determine which languages, frameworks, or dependencies drive a specific repository.
• Trend Forecasting: Track the velocity of issues and pull requests to assess the stability of a project over specific timeframes.

Example Prompts

1. "Analyze github.com/facebook/react and give me a summary of its current maintenance activity and top contributors."
2. "Show stats for vercel/next.js: how many open issues are there and what is the current PR merge rate?"
3. "What languages does kubernetes use and which one accounts for the largest percentage of the codebase?"

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limiting: Be aware that excessive automated queries may hit GitHub API rate limits. Ensure your agent is configured with an API token if you are a power user.
• Visibility: This skill works primarily on public repositories. Access to private repositories may require additional GitHub personal access token configuration within your OpenClaw environment.
• Data Snapshot: Note that the data provided is a snapshot of the repository state. If you need live monitoring, consider creating a recurring task in your agent workflow to poll the repository periodically.
