What kind of report does the Repository Analyzer produce?

It generates a structured Markdown report covering overview stats, structure assessment, documentation quality scores, and specific maintenance recommendations.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, this skill relies on the 'gh' CLI being installed and authenticated to fetch repository metadata and file contents.

Does it download the entire source code?

No, it specifically targets metadata, directory structures, documentation, and dependency files to provide a high-level overview without exhausting context limits.

Can it analyze private repositories?

Yes, as long as your GitHub CLI is authenticated with a token that has the necessary permissions to access those private repositories.
