What it does

GitHub Explorer is an agent skill from echoVic/blade-code. Explore and summarize popular GitHub projects. Use when the user wants to discover trending GitHub repositories, analyze project details, or get summaries of popular projects.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered CLI coding agent with 20+ built-in tools, MCP support, and multi-model providers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to discover trending GitHub repositories
  • Analyze project details
  • Get summaries of popular projects

Example prompts

  • “/github-explorer”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): WebFetch, WebSearch, Read, Write, Grep, Task

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. 确定搜索目标
  2. 收集项目信息
  3. 分析项目内容
  4. 生成项目总结
  5. 提供综合分析

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 30f8684. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • Read
    • Write
    • Grep
    • Task

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

GitHub Explorer loads about 434 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~434

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
