github-traffic
The github-traffic skill fetches, stores, and visualizes GitHub repository traffic data including page views, clones, referrers, and star growth. It uses the GitHub CLI to access the Traffic API and maintains a local JSON history to overcome the 14-day data limitation of the API.
Is github-traffic safe to install?
Review the source first: our audit of github-traffic's source files found 11 shell commands, 0 external URLs, file reads and writes (high risk). Every command and URL listed appears verbatim in the skill's source. The skill executes shell commands and writes historical traffic data to the local file system in the ~/.github-traffic/ directory.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the skill require push access to the repository?
The GitHub Traffic API restricts access to repository owners, admins, and collaborators with write or maintain roles. Read-only users receive a 403 error.
How do I track traffic trends longer than 14 days?
GitHub only provides 14 days of data. You must run the script periodically with the --snapshot flag to accumulate data in a local JSON file, which the script then uses to generate longer-term charts.
What happens if I do not have matplotlib installed?
The script falls back to generating ASCII-based charts in the terminal if matplotlib is unavailable.
