    About This Skill

    What it does

    The GitHub Growth Tracker is a specialized developer tool that automates the monitoring of repository performance metrics including stars, forks, issues, and commit velocity. It captures historical snapshots to provide trend analysis, allowing you to see exactly how your projects are performing over time with visual indicators like up/down arrows.

    Why use this skill

    Monitoring growth manually is tedious and often results in missing key inflection points. Unlike basic prompting, this skill maintains a local history (up to 90 days) to calculate true growth rates rather than just showing current totals. It provides context by comparing your active repositories against a curated watchlist of industry benchmarks or competitor projects.

    Supported tools

    • GitHub REST API (Fine-grained and Classic PATs)
    • Local SQLite-less data storage (JSON-based history)
    • Automated digest generation for Slack, Discord, or CLI

    The Output

    Users receive structured health reports that categorize repos into "Your Projects" and "Watchlist." Metrics include specific delta changes (e.g., +15 stars) and commit velocity comparisons to ensure you know which projects are gaining traction and which need attention. Output can be to any channel you wish (Whatsapp, Slack, Discord, terminal etc). Anything that your open claw agent can connect to - this can send to.

    Use Cases

    • Monitor star and fork growth trends with visual delta indicators.
    • Compare project commit velocity against industry competitors or benchmarks.
    • Generate weekly automated health digests for your open-source portfolio.
    • Identify stagnant repositories that haven't had recent commit activity.
