GitHub via Scavio

Pull GitHub profiles, repositories, READMEs, releases, issues and comments, run GitHub search across five verticals, and get composite intelligence: a full repo dossier, a user's public-activity velocity, reaction-ranked top issues, and public commit emails. All endpoints return structured JSON.

When to trigger

Use this skill when the user asks to:

Look up a GitHub user's profile, or a repository's stars, forks, issues, license, topics and metadata
List a user's repositories, or a repository's releases with assets and download counts
Read a repository's README, its issues (PRs filtered out by default), or a single issue / PR and its comments
Search repositories, users, issues, code or commits
Rank a repository's most-reacted open issues, or build a full repo dossier (metadata, README excerpt, releases, top issues, language breakdown, top contributors, weekly activity)
Measure a user's public-activity velocity, or resolve a username to public commit email(s)

Setup

Get a free API key at scavio.dev (50 free credits to get started, no card required):

bash

export SCAVIO_API_KEY=sk_live_your_key

Every request is a POST with a JSON body and:

text

Authorization: Bearer $SCAVIO_API_KEY

Endpoints
