github-explorer

A guide for investigating GitHub projects beyond their front page, including their codebase, activity, issues, contributors, and community discussions. GitHub is a service where developers store and collaborate on code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify a repository, inspect its architecture and activity, review important issues, and compare community feedback from other sources.
Why use it?
It helps reveal how healthy, maintained, and widely supported a project is instead of relying only on its README or star count.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

github-explorer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GitHub Explorer — 项目深度分析

Philosophy: README 只是门面,真正的价值藏在 Issues、Commits 和社区讨论里。

Workflow

[项目名] → [1. 定位 Repo] → [2. 多源采集] → [3. 分析研判] → [4. 结构化输出]

Phase 1: 定位 Repo

  • web_search 搜索 site:github.com <project_name> 确认完整 org/repo
  • search-layer(Deep 模式 + 意图感知)补充获取社区链接和非 GitHub 资源:
    python3 skills/search-layer/scripts/search.py \
      --queries "<project_name> review" "<project_name> 评测 使用体验" \
      --mode deep --intent exploratory --num 5
    
  • web_fetch 抓取 repo 主页获取基础信息(README、Stars、Forks、License、最近更新)

Phase 2: 多源采集(并行)

以下来源按需检查,有则采集,无则跳过:

来源 URL 模式 采集内容 建议工具
GitHub Repo github.com/{org}/{repo} README、About、Contributors web_fetch
GitHub Issues github.com/{org}/{repo}/issues?q=sort:comments Top 3-5 高质量 Issue browser
中文社区 微信/知乎/小红书 深度评测、使用经验 content-extract
技术博客 Medium/Dev.to 技术架构分析 web_fetch / content-extract
讨论区 V2EX/Reddit 用户反馈、槽点 search-layer(Deep 模式)
search-layer 调用规范

search-layer v2 支持意图感知评分。github-explorer 场景下的推荐用法:

场景 命令 说明
项目调研(默认) python3 skills/search-layer/scripts/search.py --queries "<project> review" "<project> 评测" --mode deep --intent exploratory --num 5 多查询并行,按权威性排序
最新动态 python3 skills/search-layer/scripts/search.py "<project> latest release" --mode deep --intent status --freshness pw --num 5 优先新鲜度,过滤一周内
竞品对比 python3 skills/search-layer/scripts/search.py --queries "<project> vs <competitor>" "<project> alternatives" --mode deep --intent comparison --num 5 对比意图,关键词+权威双权重
快速查链接 python3 skills/search-layer/scripts/search.py "<project> official docs" --mode fast --intent resource --num 3 精确匹配,最快
社区讨论 python3 skills/search-layer/scripts/search.py "<project> discussion experience" --mode deep --intent exploratory --domain-boost reddit.com,news.ycombinator.com --num 5 加权社区站点

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

github-explorer is a skill published in the GitHub repository NikitaDmitrieff/auto-co-meta (43 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 2,818 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
