github-ai-trends
Generate GitHub AI trending project reports as formatted text leaderboards. Fetches top-starred AI/ML/LLM repos by daily, weekly, or monthly period and renders a styled leaderboard. Use when the user asks for AI project trends, GitHub trending, AI leaderboard, or wants to see popular AI repos.
Why use this skill?
Use the github-ai-trends skill to generate real-time leaderboards of popular AI and machine learning repositories on GitHub directly inside your chat interface.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/toller892/github-ai-trendsWhat This Skill Does
The github-ai-trends skill is a specialized agentic tool designed to scan, filter, and rank the most popular artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large language model repositories on GitHub. By leveraging the GitHub API, this skill identifies emerging projects based on star counts and update frequency, synthesizing this raw data into a clean, easy-to-read markdown leaderboard. It is designed to act as an automated curator for researchers and developers who need to stay updated with the fast-paced open-source AI ecosystem.
Installation
You can integrate this skill into your environment using the following command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/toller892/github-ai-trends
Ensure that you have your environment configured with a GITHUB_TOKEN to take advantage of higher API rate limits, which allows for more frequent queries and faster response generation.
Use Cases
- Market Research: Quickly identify which AI frameworks or libraries are gaining traction within the developer community.
- Learning & Development: Stay informed about new tools that could streamline your personal coding workflows.
- Investment/Business Intelligence: Monitor competitive intelligence by tracking which proprietary or open-source models are receiving the most community attention.
- Community Management: Understand current trends to better align your own open-source contributions with current industry demand.
Example Prompts
- "What are the most popular AI repositories on GitHub for this week?"
- "Show me a leaderboard of trending machine learning projects from the last month, limited to the top 10."
- "Can you fetch the daily trending AI repos so I can see what is currently blowing up?"
Tips & Limitations
- Rate Limiting: Without a valid GitHub token, you are restricted to 10 requests per minute. Adding a token via the
GITHUB_TOKENenvironment variable triples this capacity to 30 requests per minute. - Data Accuracy: The skill sorts by star count, which is a lagging indicator of popularity. It is best used for broad discovery rather than identifying hyper-specific niche tools.
- No External Dependencies: Because the script uses Python stdlib, it is extremely lightweight and easy to audit, making it a low-risk addition to your agentic toolkit. For advanced integrations, use the
--jsonflag to pipe data into other downstream analysis tools.
