ask-repo
Learn from any GitHub repo with generated walkthroughs. Clones repos locally, creates markdown explanations with code snippets, and opens in Cursor at specific lines. Triggers on GitHub URLs with questions, "how does X implement...", "explain the code in...", "analyze this repo".
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ask-repo --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# ask-repo **DO NOT analyze the repo yourself. ONLY run this command:** ```bash /Users/francoislaberge/conductor/workspaces/.agents/cebu-v1/skills/ask-repo/scripts/ask-repo.sh "<github-url>" "<question>" ``` This script handles everything: cloning, analysis, saving walkthrough, and Cursor commands. **You MUST use the Bash tool to run the script above. Do not read files or write code yourself.**
What does the ask-repo skill do?
Learn from any GitHub repo with generated walkthroughs. Clones repos locally, creates markdown explanations with code snippets, and opens in Cursor at specific lines. Triggers on GitHub URLs with questions, "how does X implement...", "explain the code in...", "analyze this repo".
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ask-repo --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
