A DeerFlow skill from ByteDance for researching a GitHub repository or open-source project in several rounds.
What the skill teaches
A DeerFlow skill from ByteDance for researching a GitHub repository or open-source project in several rounds. A bundled Python script queries the GitHub API for a summary, README, file tree, languages, contributors, commits, issues, pull requests and releases. The agent then runs web searches and fetches pages for an overview, architecture, alternatives, timeline and community views, weighting official docs above blogs, news and social posts. The result follows a report template with metadata, an executive summary, a dated timeline, analysis sections, metrics tables, strengths and weaknesses, Mermaid diagrams and categorised sources.
Capabilities
- Pull repository data from the GitHub API
- Research a project's history and alternatives on the web
- Reconstruct a dated project timeline
- Write a structured report with metrics and diagrams
Install
