About this skill
What it does
The GitHub Growth Tracker is a specialized developer tool designed to monitor and analyze the trajectory of GitHub repositories. It goes beyond static numbers by recording historical data to provide real-time trend analysis on stars, forks, issues, and commit velocity.
Why use this skill
While basic GitHub scraping can give you current counts, this skill maintains a 90-day time-series database. It allows developers to understand momentum rather than just snapshots. Instead of manually checking dashboards, you get automated digests that highlight where your projects are gaining traction or losing steam relative to your benchmarks.
- Trend Visualization: Uses intuitive indicators (↑↓→) to show changes over time.
- Watchlist Benchmarking: Compare your growth rates against "aspirational" repos to gauge relative performance.
- Commit Velocity Tracking: Monitor active development windows (4-week rolling average) across multiple repos.
- Automated Reporting: Designed to generate clean, formatted text digests perfect for Slack, Discord, or status updates.
Supported tools
Built as a Python-based utility, it integrates seamlessly with GitHub's REST API using fine-grained Personal Access Tokens. It is compatible with AI agent environments like Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenClaw, utilizing a standardized data directory for persistent historical tracking.
