fork-release-tracker

You can track fork releases by running this skill to fetch fork data via the GitHub API, deduplicate previously announced releases, and generate concise notifications for any new tags published within a seven-day monitoring window.

Automated weekly monitoring provides the best approach for open-source fork release notifications, surfacing first-time releases as milestones and summarizing subsequent tags to maintain a lightweight audit trail.

Yes, you can automatically track first-time releases across multiple downstream forks. The skill announces milestones when a first fork release occurs and summarizes subsequent releases for the same weekly window.

You do not need to manually configure the GitHub API to monitor fork releases weekly. The skill handles API calls internally to fetch forks and releases, filtering by a 7-day window and deduplicating announced releases automatically.

Fork release tracking handles duplicate notifications by deduplicating announced releases. The skill maintains a record of previously surfaced tags to ensure only new releases within the seven-day window generate notifications and logs.

You should not use automated weekly monitoring for fork releases if your project has very few downstream forks or requires real-time alerts, as this skill is designed for weekly summaries and first-time milestone announcements rather than immediate notifications.
