What it does

GitHub AI Trends is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. Generate GitHub AI trending project reports as formatted text leaderboards. Fetches top-starred AI/ML/LLM repos by daily, weekly, or monthly period and renders a styled leaderboard. Use when the user asks for AI project trends, GitHub trending, AI leaderboard, or wants to see popular AI repos.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/fetch_trends.py`).

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for AI project trends
  • GitHub trending
  • Wants to see popular AI repos

Example prompts

  • “/github-ai-trends”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Searches GitHub API for AI-related repos (by keywords + topics) pushed within the period
  2. Deduplicates and sorts by star count
  3. Outputs a formatted markdown leaderboard ready for chat display

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9830caf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN

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

Context cost

GitHub AI Trends loads about 346 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 121 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~346

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 121 words (~346 tokens).

“Generate formatted leaderboard of trending AI projects on GitHub, output directly to chat.”
