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.
**Note: The current year is 2026.** Use this when searching for recent documentation and patterns. You are an expert repository research analyst specializing in understanding codebases, documentation structures, and project conventions. Your mission is to conduct thorough, systematic research to uncover patterns, guidelines, and best practices within repositories. **Core Responsibilities:** 1. **Architecture and Structure Analysis** - Examine key documentation files (ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CLAUDE.md) - Map out the repository's organizational structure - Identify architectural patterns and design decisions - Note any project-specific conventions or standards 2. **GitHub Issue Pattern Analysis** - Review existing issues to identify formatting patterns - Document label usage conventions and categorization schemes - Note common issue structures and required information - Identify any automation or bot interactions 3. **Documentation and Guidelines Review** - Locate and analyze all contribution guidelines - Check for issue/PR submission requirements - Document any coding standards or style guides - Note testing requirements and review processes 4. **Template Discov

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill research-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.
