Does it modify any code in the repository?

No, this skill is strictly read-only and designed for analysis, reporting, and codebase understanding without making changes.

What languages are supported for dependency analysis?

The skill currently supports package detection for JavaScript/TypeScript (package.json), Python (requirements.txt), and Go (go.mod).

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, the skill utilizes the gh CLI for authentication and repository access to ensure secure and efficient data retrieval.

How does it handle large repositories?

It uses targeted API calls and allows for defining the analysis scope—such as just structure or just documentation—to manage context limits effectively.

Can it analyze private repositories?

Yes, as long as your local GitHub CLI is authenticated with the necessary permissions to access those private repositories.
