# GitHub Deep Research Skill Multi-round research combining GitHub API, web_search, web_fetch to produce comprehensive markdown reports. ## Research Workflow - Round 1: GitHub API - Round 2: Discovery - Round 3: Deep Investigation - Round 4: Deep Dive ## Core Methodology ### Query Strategy **Broad to Narrow**: Start with GitHub API, then general queries, refine based on findings. ``` Round 1: GitHub API Round 2: "{topic} overview" Round 3: "{topic} architecture", "{topic} vs alternatives" Round 4: "{topic} issues", "{topic} roadmap", "site:github.com {topic}" ``` **Source Prioritization**: 1. Official docs/repos (highest weight) 2. Technical blogs (Medium, Dev.to) 3. News articles (verified outlets) 4. Community discussions (Reddit, HN) 5. Social media (lowest weight, for sentiment) ### Research Rounds **Round 1 - GitHub API** Directly execute `scripts/github_api.py` without `read_file()`: ```bash python /path/to/skill/scripts/github_api.py <owner> <repo> summary python /path/to/skill/scripts/github_api.py <owner> <repo> readme python /path/to/skill/scripts/github_api.py <owner> <repo> tree ``` **Available commands (the last argument of `github_api.py`):** - summary - info - readme

About this skill
What does the github-deep-research skill do?

Conduct multi-round deep research on any GitHub Repo. Use when users request comprehensive analysis, timeline reconstruction, competitive analysis, or in-depth investigation of GitHub. Produces structured markdown reports with executive summaries, chronological timelines, metrics analysis, and Mermaid diagrams. Triggers on Github repository URL or open source projects.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill github-deep-research --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.
