🔍 GitHub Intelligence

Analyze any GitHub repository in AI-friendly format. Convert repos to markdown, generate architecture diagrams, understand structure and patterns.

Features

• Analyze repo structure — file tree, README, language breakdown, recent activity
• Generate architecture diagrams — Mermaid flowcharts from codebase structure
• Convert repo to markdown — entire repository as a single AI-readable document
• Inspect language breakdown — percentage by language with file counts
• Track recent activity — latest commits, contributors, release history
• GitHub URL tricks — hidden features, API shortcuts, search operators
• Control analysis depth — configurable directory traversal depth
• Limit file count — cap files for large repos
• Read-only guarantee — never executes code from repositories
• Public API access — no token needed (optional token for higher rate limits)

Requirements

| Variable | Required | Description | |----------|----------|-------------| | GITHUB_TOKEN | ❌ | Optional — increases rate limit from 60 to 5000 req/hr. Get from GitHub Settings |

⚠️ Security

This tool is READ-ONLY. It NEVER:

• Executes code from repositories
• Runs scripts, makefiles, or build commands
• Evaluates any content from repos
• Writes to any repository

All analysis is static file reading only.

This skill fetches public data from GitHub's API. No data is stored locally beyond the analysis output.
