Repository Health Assessment
Activity Signals (score 1-5 each)
- Commit frequency: daily (5), weekly (4), monthly (3), quarterly (2), dormant (1)
- Issue response time: < 24h (5), < 1 week (4), < 1 month (3), > 1 month (2), never (1)
- PR merge time: < 1 week (5), < 2 weeks (4), < 1 month (3), > 1 month (2)
- Release cadence: monthly (5), quarterly (4), twice yearly (3), annual (2), never (1)
- Documentation quality: comprehensive (5), good (4), basic (3), minimal (2), none (1)
Total score > 20: healthy and active
Total score 12-20: moderate activity
Total score < 12: declining or abandoned
Bus Factor Analysis
Bus factor = number of contributors whose loss would cripple the project.
- Bus factor = 1: single contributor responsible for > 50% of commits — CRITICAL risk
- Bus factor = 2-3: moderate risk; good to diversify
- Bus factor > 4: healthy contributor distribution
Repository SEO Optimization
GitHub Algorithm Signals
- Star velocity: stars per day in last 7 days (most important for Trending)
- Fork rate: forks/stars ratio (> 0.3 = useful, actively forked)
- Watch count: subscribers interested in updates
- Recent activity: commits in last 30 days
On-Repository SEO
- Name: use searchable keywords, not clever branding
- Description (160 chars): include 2-3 target search phrases
- Topics (max 20): use all 20; mix broad and specific
- README: keyword-rich first paragraph; GitHub indexes full README
- Releases: use semantic versioning; release notes get indexed
Topic Tag Strategy
Primary: your main category (claude-skills, ai-agents, llm)
Secondary: technology stack (python, typescript, fastapi)
Tertiary: use case (finance, automation, rag)
Trending: check GitHub Explore for trending topics to include
