GitHub Growth Tracker 📊
Track stars, forks, issues, and commit activity across GitHub repos. Generates text digests with trend arrows (↑↓→) and compares your repos against a watchlist you curate.
Why
You ship code but have no idea if anyone's using it. This skill gives you a weekly pulse on your projects — what's growing, what's stagnant, and how you stack up against repos you admire.
When to Use
- "Check my repo stats"
- "How's my project doing on GitHub?"
- "Give me a growth digest"
- "Compare my repo against X"
Credentials
Required: GitHub Personal Access Token (fine-grained, public repo read-only).
Create at: github.com → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
Type: Fine-grained
Access: Public repos (read-only)
Pass via setup --token \x3CTOKEN> (saved to \x3CDATA_DIR>/github.json) or set GITHUB_TOKEN env var.
⚠ Token is stored plaintext on disk. For higher security, use the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable instead.
Setup
python3 scripts/github_tracker.py setup --token \x3CTOKEN> # list your repos
python3 scripts/github_tracker.py add owner/repo1 owner/repo2 # track repos
python3 scripts/github_tracker.py add other/repo --watch # watchlist
python3 scripts/github_tracker.py fetch # record data
Commands
setup [--token TOKEN] List your repos, optionally save token
fetch Fetch metrics for all tracked + watched repos
digest Generate growth digest with trends
add repo1 [repo2 ...] [--watch] Add repos to tracking or watchlist
remove owner/repo Stop tracking (history preserved)
list Show tracked repos and watchlist

Scheduled Monitoring
python3 \x3Cskill_path>/scripts/github_tracker.py fetch && python3 \x3Cskill_path>/scripts/github_tracker.py digest
Data Directory
Credentials and data resolve to:
1. $SKILL_DATA_DIR (set by agent platform)
2. ~/.config/github-growth-tracker/ (default fallback)
Credentials: \x3CDATA_DIR>/github.json (token)
Config: \x3CDATA_DIR>/config.json (repo lists)
History: \x3CDATA_DIR>/repos/ (per-repo, 90 days)
Any platform can set $SKILL_DATA_DIR. If unset, ~/.config/github-growth-tracker/ is used. Works with OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, and any agent that can run Python scripts.
Notes
fetchskips repos already recorded today (safe to run multiple times)addaccepts multiple repos:add repo1 repo2 repo3- History auto-trims to 90 days on each save
