What it does
GitHub Activity is an agent skill from xenodium/emacs-skills. This skill should be used when the user invokes "/github-activity" to analyze a GitHub project's recent activity (PRs and issues) and produce a succinct, chart-backed health report.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `analyze.py`).
It sits in Data & Analytics. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Emacs skills for coding agents.
When your agent uses it
- Invokes /github-activity to analyze a GitHub projects recent activity (PRs and issues) and produce a succinct
- Chart-backed health report
Example prompts
- “/github-activity”
- “/github-activity”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Resolve the target repo (owner/name), in this order
- Resolve the window. Default is the last 6 months. Honor any user phrasing ("last 3 months", "this year") via --months N.
- Query the Emacs foreground color once (reuse if already known this session)
- Run the analyzer (it shells out to gh, computes metrics, writes charts, prints a JSON summary)
- Read the JSON printed on stdout and write the report (structure below), embedding each returned chart path as a markdown image on its own…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a158238. 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 script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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 Activity loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 811 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 811 words (~1,509 tokens).
“Produce a succinct report on a GitHub project's activity — throughput, backlog burn-rate, and responsiveness — backed by matplotlib charts. The bundled analyze.py does the fetching, windowing, and plotting; your job is to run it and turn its JSON summary…”
