olshansk Skills Dashboard Generator
Scrape the skills.sh registry and produce an interactive Plotly.js dashboard showing who publishes the most skills, who has the most installs, and how adoption is distributed.
When to Use This Skill
- Generating a fresh snapshot of the skills.sh ecosystem
- Comparing publishers by skill count vs install count
- Exploring the power-law distribution of skill adoption
- Answering "who dominates the skills ecosystem?"
How It Works
- Scrape - Fetch
https://skills.sh/api/searchwith broad 2-char queries to discover all skills - Aggregate - Group by owner (GitHub org/user) and repo, compute counts and totals

Running
