SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides automated visibility into fork activations by alerting when a fork runs its first workflow, enabling rapid community recognition and response.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Monitors forks under a parent repository to identify first-run activity and unlocks timely engagement opportunities.
  • Emits named alerts with per-fork run metadata (title, URL, timestamp) for clear visibility and traceability.
  • Maintains a persistent seen-state to avoid re-announcing forks and to support backfill on first-run.

Quick Start

Configure Aeon to run this skill daily and verify that new forks trigger first-run alerts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get alerts when a GitHub fork runs its first workflow?

You can get alerts for GitHub fork first workflow runs by configuring this Skill to monitor parent repositories. It detects new fork activations, computes newly active forks, and emits notifications with run URLs and timestamps while maintaining a persistent seen-state to prevent duplicate alerts.

What is fork activation monitoring and why use it?

Fork activation monitoring tracks when forked repositories execute their first workflow run. It provides automated visibility into community engagement, enabling immediate recognition and timely response to new active forks within a parent repository's cohort.

How do I track first-run activity across multiple repository forks?

Track first-run activity across repository forks by running this Skill to compute a NEW_ACTIVE cohort from monitored forks. It gathers per-fork run metadata including titles, URLs, and timestamps, then formats named alerts for clear visibility and traceability.

Does this first-run alerting tool require external dependencies?

No, this first-run alerting tool operates without external dependencies. It reads and updates internal memory state and cohort caches directly to compute newly active forks and format notifications while honoring built-in safety constraints and processing limits.

Can I backfill first-run alerts for previously active forks?

Yes, you can backfill first-run alerts for previously active forks. The Skill maintains a persistent seen-state to support backfill on first run, ensuring historical fork activations are recognized without re-announcing previously processed forks.
