Gource Visualizer
Gource is an open-source software version control visualization tool that renders repository history as an animated tree. This skill orchestrates the full pipeline from installation through rendering, producing MP4 or WebM video files, PNG thumbnails, and render summary reports. It activates when a user wants to visualize repository history, create a code evolution video, generate a Gource animation, see project timelines, or says "show me what we built."
