What specific statistics are included in the output?

The skill returns stars, forks, open issues, watchers, primary language, license type, creation date, and last push timestamp.

How long is the repository data cached?

Repository metadata is cached locally for 30 minutes to improve performance, but you can use the --no-cache flag to force a fresh fetch.

How do I avoid GitHub API rate limits?

You can provide a GitHub Personal Access Token via the --token option or the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable to increase your quota to 5,000 requests per hour.

Does this skill support private repositories?

Yes, provided you use a Personal Access Token with the appropriate 'repo' scope, the skill can retrieve metadata for private repositories you have access to.

What URL formats are supported by the repository argument?

The skill accepts owner/repo shorthand, standard GitHub web URLs, SSH clones (git@github.com), and git+https protocols.
