GitHub Research Skill

Trigger

Activate this skill when the user wants to:

• "Find repos for [topic]", "GitHub research on [topic]"
• "Analyze open-source code for [topic]"
• "Find implementations of [paper/technique]"
• "Which repos implement [algorithm]?"
• Uses /github-research <deep-research-output-dir> slash command

Overview

This skill systematically discovers, evaluates, and deeply analyzes GitHub repositories related to a research topic. It reads deep-research output (paper database, phase reports, code references) and produces an actionable integration blueprint for reusing open-source code.

Installation: ~/.claude/skills/github-research/ — scripts, references, and this skill definition. Output: ./github-research-output/{slug}/ relative to the current working directory. Input: A deep-research output directory (containing paper_db.jsonl, phase reports, code_repos.md, etc.)
