GitHub Repository Optimization

Transform any GitHub repository into a high-converting, SEO-optimized landing page that drives stars, followers, and traffic. Every repo you touch should look like a top-100 open source project.

This skill has two modes:

1. Optimize — rewrite a repo's README, metadata, and structure for maximum conversion
2. Advise — give the user a star growth strategy using the knowledge base below

Goals (in priority order)

1. Stars -- the primary social proof metric on GitHub
2. Followers -- drive traffic to the repo owner's social profiles
3. Discoverability -- rank in GitHub search, Google, and LLM answer engines
4. Traffic -- turn visitors into users/followers
5. Professional credibility -- signal quality through structure and polish
