SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires git, gh, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill allows you to inspect GitHub repositories without risking your main workspace by cloning potentially massive repositories unnecessarily.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-Stage Analysis: First, it fetches metadata (README, size) using gh CLI. If the repo is manageable, it then clones it to a temporary sandbox for deep inspection upon your confirmation.
  • Safety First: Warns about large repositories and requires explicit user confirmation before cloning.
  • Use Case: You need to evaluate a third-party library on GitHub. Use this skill to get a quick overview and decide if a full clone is worth the disk space and time.

Quick Start

Use the repo-audit skill to analyze the GitHub repository at https://github.com/example/repo.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I inspect a GitHub repository without downloading massive files?

To inspect a GitHub repository safely, this skill first fetches metadata and README content using `gh` CLI to evaluate its size, requiring explicit confirmation before cloning manageable repositories to a temporary sandbox.

Can I analyze a repository's README before committing to a full clone?

Yes, you can analyze a repository's README first. The skill performs a two-stage analysis, initially retrieving metadata and README content via `gh` CLI before optionally proceeding to clone the repository.

Do I need `git` and `gh` installed to audit repository metadata?

Yes, you need both `git` and `gh` installed to audit repository metadata. The skill relies on `gh` CLI for fetching initial repository metadata and `git` for cloning repositories to a temporary sandbox.

What's the best way to evaluate third-party libraries on GitHub for disk space constraints?

The best way to evaluate third-party libraries with disk space constraints is using a two-stage audit that warns about large repositories and requires explicit confirmation before cloning to a temporary sandbox.

Does this repository inspection tool prevent accidental large downloads to my main workspace?

Yes, this repository inspection tool prevents accidental large downloads by checking repository size during the metadata fetch stage and only cloning to a temporary sandbox after explicit user confirmation.

Why does the skill clone repositories to a temporary sandbox instead of the current directory?

The skill clones repositories to a temporary sandbox instead of the current directory to safely inspect potentially massive repositories without risking your main workspace or unnecessarily consuming disk space.
