Github Star Weekly

GitHub Star Weekly

Generate a weekly report section from a GitHub user's starred repositories. The GitHub username is an input, not a hardcoded value: pass it as a positional argument, pass --username, type it at the prompt, or pipe it on stdin. Optionally include public fork events. This skill is designed for the E:\gitweekly repo style: write only weekly/weekly-<start>_<end>.md, reuse links_cache/descriptions_cache.json, and do not update README/source markdown unless the user explicitly asks.

Quick command

Use PowerShell with UTF-8 output. Replace <github_user> with the requested account:

$env:PYTHONIOENCODING='utf-8'
python .agents/skills/github-star-weekly/scripts/github_star_weekly.py <github_user> --write

Equivalent username input styles:

python .agents/skills/github-star-weekly/scripts/github_star_weekly.py --username <github_user> --write
python .agents/skills/github-star-weekly/scripts/github_star_weekly.py --write       # prompts: GitHub username:
"<github_user>" | python .agents/skills/github-star-weekly/scripts/github_star_weekly.py --write

Include fork events only when requested:

python .agents/skills/github-star-weekly/scripts/github_star_weekly.py <github_user> --include-forks --write

Useful options:

• --date YYYY-MM-DD: choose the week containing this local date.
• --week-start YYYY-MM-DD --week-end YYYY-MM-DD: force a Monday-Sunday style range.
• --timezone Asia/Taipei: timezone for week boundaries; default is Asia/Taipei.
• --dry-run: preview rows without writing.
• --update-cache: write generated descriptions back to links_cache/descriptions_cache.json.
• --username <github_user>: set the GitHub username explicitly; overrides the positional value.
• --token-env GITHUB_TOKEN: use a GitHub token from an environment variable for rate limit.

Workflow

1. Inspect git status --short before editing. Do not overwrite unrelated user changes.
2. Run the script with the requested GitHub username.
3. Verify only weekly/weekly-<start>_<end>.md changed unless the user asked for cache updates.
4. Review generated descriptions. If a row is English, vague, or too long, refine it manually using the existing auto-weekly description style: concise Chinese, 15-25-ish characters when practical, no empty adjectives.
5. Run a quick validation:
   • The target weekly file exists.
   • The GitHub Stars（<start> ~ <end>） section appears once.
   • Re-running the same command is idempotent and adds no duplicate URLs.
6. Do not commit or push unless the user explicitly asks.

Output layout

Append sections to the target weekly file:

## GitHub Stars（2026-05-18 ~ 2026-05-24）

| 链接 | 描述 |
|------|------|
| [repo](https://github.com/owner/repo) | 中文描述 |

Optional forks section:

## GitHub Forks（2026-05-18 ~ 2026-05-24）

The script de-duplicates URLs across the whole weekly file, so existing rows in normal README.md/tools.md sections will not be repeated in the star section.

Notes

• GitHub's starred API needs Accept: application/vnd.github.star+json to return starred_at timestamps.
• Public fork discovery uses the GitHub public events API, which is recent-event limited. It is reliable for current-week runs but may be incomplete for old weeks.
• If GitHub rate limits anonymous requests, set $env:GITHUB_TOKEN and rerun.
