System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Dormant GitHub repositories lose momentum when their docs, model references, and metadata go stale, making the project harder to discover and use.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Selects a high-potential dormant repo by scoring watched repositories with stars and days of dormancy, then skips repos recently revived and ineligible repos.
  • Audits for the most visible “stale signals” such as outdated AI model references, missing Quick Start/Installation or demo assets, weak badges/metadata, and simple community issues that can be resolved with a small README clarification or tweak.
  • Creates exactly one targeted change per run (one PR) focused on maintenance rather than new features, with a fallback API update when PRs aren’t possible.
  • Drafts a revival announcement and logs the outcome so the operator can measure what was fixed and whether it improved perceived freshness.

Use case: You maintain a list of popular but inactive repos; this Skill automatically finds the best candidate and applies a single high-impact doc or metadata improvement to signal continued maintenance.

Quick Start

Use the skill to revive a dormant watched repository by letting it run on its configured schedule.
