What this skill does

  1. 1Fetches up to 200 open issues from any public GitHub repo via the REST API, filtering out bots, PRs, and zero-engagement noise locally.
  2. 2Scores every issue by +1 reactions and comment count, then clusters them into 6 demand categories: feature gaps, bugs, UX complaints, performance, missing integrations, and docs.
  3. 3Flags 'ignored demand' issues — high-reaction, 6+ months old, no planned label — as your immediate opportunity window.
  4. 4Produces a ranked demand gap report and a GTM messaging brief with positioning angles, outreach hooks, and headlines grounded in verbatim issue titles.

When to use

  • You need verbatim buyer language from real complaints to write sharper positioning copy.
  • You are preparing competitive battlecards and want evidence of specific feature gaps.
