Github Deep Research
This is a structured research framework that treats GitHub repo analysis like an investigation assignment. It runs through four rounds: GitHub API calls for raw metrics, broad web searches for context, targeted deep dives with web fetching, and commit history analysis. The output is a markdown report with executive summary, timeline, Mermaid diagrams, and confidence scores for each claim. It's opinionated about citation format and insists on inline sources, which is good because LLM research tools love to hallucinate provenance. Useful when you need to understand a project's history, compare it to alternatives, or build a technical brief. The gantt charts and architecture diagrams feel a bit corporate, but the four round structure keeps the research from spiraling.

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:
- Official docs/repos (highest weight)
- Technical blogs (Medium, Dev.to)
- News articles (verified outlets)
- Community discussions (Reddit, HN)
- Social media (lowest weight, for sentiment)
Research Rounds
Round 1 - GitHub API
Directly execute scripts/github_api.py without read_file():
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
