How is this different from checking a repository's star count directly on GitHub?

GitHub's native interface only shows current snapshots; this skill builds a 90-day time-series database to track momentum, star velocity, and commit trends over time, allowing you to see if growth is accelerating or cooling.

Which AI agents and environments support the GitHub Growth Tracker?

The skill is a Python-based utility compatible with major AI agent environments such as Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenClaw, and it stores historical data in a standardized local directory for persistence.

What technical setup or credentials are required to start tracking repositories?

You will need a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with read-only permissions for the repositories you wish to track; the skill uses this to securely pull metrics via the GitHub REST API.

Can I compare my project's growth directly against other 'aspirational' repositories?

Yes, the 'Watchlist' feature allows you to input multiple repository URLs and generates comparison digests that benchmark your project’s velocity against competitors or industry leaders.

What is included in the purchase of the github-growth-tracker skill?

Your purchase includes the core Python skill set, integration documentation for supported agents, and lifetime access to version updates as we refine benchmarking algorithms and API compatibility.

In what format are the growth reports and digests delivered?

The skill is designed to produce clean, formatted text digests and trend indicators (↑↓→) that are ready to be copied directly into Slack, Discord, or internal status reports.

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.

Use Cases

Monitor star and fork growth trends over a 90-day window
Compare repo performance against a curated watchlist of competitors
Generate automated weekly progress reports for open-source projects
Analyze commit velocity to ensure consistent development activity

Known Limitations

Rate limited - 5,000 API requests/hour. With many repos + participation lookups, you could hit this on large watchlists.
Read-only - tracks metrics but can't interact with repos (no starring, forking, issues management).

How to Install
