Can I use this for private repository networks?

Yes, as long as your GitHub CLI instance has access to those private repositories, the interactome can map the connections between them.

Does this skill require specific API access?

Yes, it utilizes the GitHub CLI (gh api) to fetch contributor data. You must be authenticated with GitHub, and the skill will respect the permissions associated with your token.

What kind of communities does it currently identify?

The skill includes pre-defined logic for identifying clusters in Applied Category Theory (AlgebraicJulia, Topos Institute), Type Theory (HoTT), and Complex Systems (BlockScience).

What is a 'cobordism' in the context of this skill?

In this context, a cobordism refers to the shared boundary or overlap created by contributors who are active in two or more distinct GitHub repositories or research communities.

How does GH-Interactome identify bridge authors?

It analyzes a bipartite graph of contributors and repositories to identify individuals who have significant commit history across multiple, otherwise separate, project clusters.

Collaboration Tools

Maps contributor networks and shared boundaries across GitHub repositories to discover research community overlaps.

GitHub Interactome is a specialized tool for mapping the interaction network of contributors across diverse GitHub repositories. By identifying 'cobordisms'—shared boundaries where different research communities like Applied Category Theory, Formal Verification, and Complex Systems meet—it reveals the bridge authors and organizational links driving cross-disciplinary innovation. This skill is particularly useful for ecosystem analysis, identifying key influencers in specific tech stacks, and understanding the collaborative landscape of open-source research and development projects.

Key Features

01Identifies 'cobordisms' or shared contributor boundaries between distinct communities

02Automates data collection via GitHub CLI to build bipartite contributor-repo graphs

03Provides network metrics and community clustering for ecosystem analysis

04Discovers bridge authors who connect multiple technical or research domains

058 GitHub stars

06Maps 'interactome' structures between GitHub contributors and repositories

Use Cases

01Identifying key influencers and bridge contributors across specialized research ecosystems

02Analyzing the architectural and social overlap between different open-source frameworks

03Discovering cross-pollination between academic research labs and industrial software projects
