Description
Read, explain, and evaluate a software repository or GitHub project in an engineering-oriented way. Use when the user asks to read a repo, understand a codeb...
Usage Guidance
This skill is instruction-only and internally consistent with its stated purpose, so it poses low direct risk. Before installing or running it, consider: (1) The agent executing the skill may have platform-level abilities (network access, running local tools). If you plan to analyze a private repo, ensure the agent has appropriate access and avoid supplying secrets or credentials to the skill. (2) The SKILL.md explicitly avoids running repository scripts, which reduces risk — nevertheless, if you instruct the agent to execute repo build/test commands, be cautious. (3) If you want to limit external metadata collection, ask the agent not to run the optional GitHub health layer. If you need higher assurance, run the skill against a non-sensitive public repo first to observe behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and SKILL.md are consistent: the skill's goal is to read and evaluate repositories. It does not request unrelated binaries, environment variables, or config paths. The included reference docs further support the described behavior.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md describes a constrained, evidence-first workflow (scan repo shape, read high-signal files, trace flows). It does not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files, fetch unrelated credentials, or exfiltrate data. The optional GitHub health layer is explicitly conditional and lightweight.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present. This instruction-only design means nothing is written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no requests for tokens or secrets that would be disproportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system changes. disable-model-invocation is false (normal), meaning the agent may invoke the skill autonomously but this is expected for skills and not combined with other privilege escalations.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install repo-analysis - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/repo-analysis - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v0.4.0
Add a lightweight GitHub health layer for public repositories, keeping stars, forks, license, commit recency, release rhythm, and maintenance signals as short supporting context under engineering-first analysis.
v0.3.0
Add automatic mode selection, target scope recognition, quick-read depth limits, and clearer boundary between architecture review and takeover assessment.
v0.2.0
Add three output modes: quick read, architecture review, and takeover assessment. Improve templates and mode-aware guidance.
