What github-traffic does

The skill connects through the authenticated gh CLI to inspect traffic details: page visits, clone activity, referrer sources, and star counts. GitHub restricts traffic history to the previous 14 days. To bypass that window, the script appends records to persistent JSON files in ~/.github-traffic/. This accumulates data for 30-day or 90-day reports.

Visual reporting relies on matplotlib. It outputs PNG panels showing visitor volume, clones, and stars. If the library is missing, the tool generates plain ASCII charts inside the terminal.

Target repositories require write access. Read-only permissions trigger an HTTP 403 error from the GitHub API. Tracking third-party repositories will fail.

What it helps with

  • collect visitor views and clone activity for a repository
  • preserve traffic data beyond the standard 14-day limit
  • identify top external referral sources and popular paths
  • render visual trend charts as PNG images or ASCII text

Example prompts for the agent

  • Show traffic stats and clone counts for owner/repo
  • Generate a 30-day traffic trend chart for owner/repo
  • Run a silent snapshot of owner/repo to update history

Questions about github-traffic

How to install github-traffic in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add zc277584121/marketing-skills --skill github-traffic -a claude-code in your terminal.

Why does the skill store local snapshots?

GitHub automatically discards traffic logs older than 14 days. Routine snapshots into ~/.github-traffic/ preserve continuity for quarterly reports.

Is matplotlib required to run github-traffic?

No. It is only needed for PNG images. Running with the --ascii flag outputs text charts without extra visualization libraries.
