Excerpt

GitHub Deep Research

Multi-round research combining GitHub API, web_search, and browse_page to produce comprehensive markdown reports on any GitHub repository.

Poirot note: The original deer-flow skill uses a bundled scripts/github_api.py helper. Poirot doesn't bundle that script, so this version uses bash with curl to the GitHub API directly + gh CLI when available.

When to Use

User provides a GitHub repository URL
User asks for comprehensive analysis, timeline reconstruction, competitive analysis, or in-depth investigation of an open source project
User wants to understand a project's architecture, history, or community

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
