SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Skill provides visibility into which Forks of a parent repository are actively running, helping teams focus on the currently operational instances and identify dormant ones.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bucket forks by activation status (POWER, ACTIVE, STALE, COLD) using recent run history and enabled skills in aeon.yml.
  • Generate a weekly cohort article and update a persistent memory state to track transitions and trends.
  • Use case: monitor a growing fleet of Aeon forks to surface health signals for maintenance and outreach decisions.

Quick Start

Run the fork-cohort skill to classify forks for the current parent repository and generate the weekly cohort article.

Frequently Asked Questions about fork-cohort

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track GitHub fork activity and identify which forks are still actively running?

To track GitHub fork activity, you can classify forks into activation buckets like POWER, ACTIVE, STALE, or COLD by reading GitHub Actions run history and last-run timestamps. This reveals which repository forks are currently operational versus dormant.

How does aeon.yml configuration influence the power status of a tracked fork?

The aeon.yml file influences power status through its enabled flags. When assessing fork activation status, the skill optionally checks each fork's aeon.yml configuration to determine whether enabled skills should elevate the fork's classification to a power status.

How do I generate a weekly cohort report for repository forks to monitor fleet health trends?

Generating a weekly cohort report involves classifying forks by activation status, computing deltas from previous states, and writing a weekly cohort article. This tracks transitions and trends across your repository forks for maintenance decisions.

Can I monitor a large fleet of Aeon forks to surface health signals without manual checks?

Yes, you can monitor a growing fleet of Aeon forks automatically by applying weekly status reporting that reads GitHub Actions run history. This surfaces operational health signals to help identify active instances and dormant forks for outreach.

What is the difference between POWER, ACTIVE, STALE, and COLD fork status buckets?

Fork status buckets classify activation levels: POWER indicates forks with active aeon.yml enabled flags, ACTIVE shows recent GitHub Actions runs, STALE means diminished run history, and COLD identifies dormant forks with no recent activity.

Do I need any external dependencies to classify forks and update persistent memory state?

No external dependencies are required to classify forks and update persistent memory state. The skill reads GitHub Actions run history and last-run timestamps directly, then computes deltas and writes cohort articles without additional packages.
