github-stars

github-stars is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (934 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Terminal charts showing when a GitHub repository received stars, grouped by day and by hour in a chosen time zone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect recent starring activity for a repository, including daily and hourly patterns. The GitHub CLI must be installed and authenticated.
Why use it?
It makes launch spikes and changes in repository attention easier to see than a single total star count.

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-stars 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (github-stars.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

github-stars

Fetch a repo's per-star timestamps from the GitHub API and render two ASCII charts in the terminal: stars by day and stars by hour (for the most recent day(s)). Useful for tracking a launch, a Show HN / Product Hunt spike, or DevRel growth.

Requirements

  • The gh CLI installed and authenticated (gh auth status). Unauthenticated calls hit a low rate limit and large repos fail mid-pagination.
  • Python 3.9+ (uses the stdlib zoneinfo for correct DST handling).

How it works

The script calls gh api with the application/vnd.github.star+json Accept header, which adds a starred_at timestamp to each stargazer. It paginates through all stargazers, converts each timestamp to the target timezone, and buckets them by day and by hour.

Usage

The script lives next to this file. From the skill directory:

bash github-stars.sh <owner/repo | search-term> [--tz <IANA tz>] [--days N] [--hours-days N]
  • <owner/repo> — exact repo (e.g. facebook/react). Skips the search.
  • <search-term> — a bare word (no /) is resolved to the top repo by stars.
  • --tz — IANA timezone for all buckets. Default America/Los_Angeles. Use e.g. UTC, America/New_York, Asia/Shanghai, Europe/Berlin.
  • --days N — how many recent days to show in the daily chart (default 14).
  • --hours-days N — how many recent days to break out hourly (default 2).

Examples

# default: last 14 days daily + last 2 days hourly
bash github-stars.sh vercel/next.js

# resolve a search term, show UTC
bash github-stars.sh next.js --tz UTC

# zoom in: only today hourly, 7-day daily window
bash github-stars.sh facebook/react --days 7 --hours-days 1

Sample output

owner/repo — 284 stars (with timestamps)

What ships with it

1 file 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.
