Discover valuable GitHub fork divergence beyond stars. TRIGGERS - fork analysis, fork intelligence, find forks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Fork Intelligence Systematic methodology for discovering valuable work in GitHub fork ecosystems. Stars-only filtering misses 60-100% of substantive forks — this skill uses branch-level divergence analysis, upstream PR cross-referencing, and domain-specific heuristics to find what matters. Validated empirically across 10 repositories spanning Python, Rust, TypeScript, C++/Python, and Node.js (tensortrade, backtesting.py, kokoro, pymoo, firecrawl, barter-rs, pueue, dukascopy-node, ArcticDB, flowsurface). > **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues. ## FIRST — TodoWrite Task Templates **MANDATORY**: Select and load the appropriate template before any fork analysis. ### Template A — Full Analysis (new repository) ``` 1. Get upstream baseline (stars, forks, default branch, last push) 2. List all forks with pagination, note timestamp clusters 3. Filter to unique-timestamp forks (skip bulk mirrors) 4. Check default branch divergence (ahead_by/behind_by) …

How to install
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/fork-intelligence@sha256:4e1d14e571747489The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.fd8a4c9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
