  Analyze GitHub issues, Pull Requests (PRs), Discussions, and repo vitality for an Open Source Software (OSS) project. For any specific item, casts a wide net — finds and lists all related open and closed issues/PRs/discussions, explicitly flags duplicates. Summarizes long threads, extracts reproduction steps, and generates repo vitality stats. Uses gh Command Line Interface (CLI) for GitHub Application Programming Interface (API) access. Complements oss:shepherd. NOT for PR readiness assessment or code review (use /oss:review).
  TRIGGER when: user provides GitHub issue number (#N), PR number, or github.com URL with issue/PR/discussion path AND asks to analyze, summarize, understand, or triage it; user asks for repo vitality stats or "is this repo healthy"; user asks which release introduced the features later releases fixed, for a fix-lineage/fix-flow chart, or a feature/fix burn-up across releases (`evolution`).
  SKIP: user already pasted full thread text inline; /oss:resolve already active on same PR; user wants code review (use /oss:review); user phrasing is "review PR" meaning code quality assessment, not thread triage (route to /oss:review).
argument-hint: <N|vitality [<owner>/<repo>|github-url]|ecosystem|evolution [<owner>/<repo>|url] [v1->v2]|path/to/report.md> [--reply] [--quick] [--full] [--break-lock] [--adjudicate] [--bug-labels "<a,b>"] [--tag-prefix "<p>"] [--keep "<items>"]
allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Write, Edit, Agent, Skill, AskUserQuestion, TaskList, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate
effort: high

<objective>

Analyze GitHub threads + repo vitality. Help maintainers triage, respond, decide fast. Output actionable + structured — not just summaries.

NOT for implementing PR action items (use /oss:resolve). NOT for **code-quality assessment on a PR** — phrasing like "review PR #N" or "does this PR look good?" routes here via TRIGGER (PR number + "analyze/summarize" verbs) but yields thread analysis, not code review. When request is code quality, route to `/oss:review` instead. NOT for multi-agent code review (use /oss:review). NOT for CI pipeline diagnosis (use oss:cicd-steward).

</objective>

<inputs>

  • **$ARGUMENTS**: one of:
  • `N` (number, plain `123` or `#123`) — any GitHub thread: issue, PR, or discussion; auto-detects type
  • `vitality [<owner>/<repo> | <github-url>]` — repo vitality overview with 9-axis health scorecard, duplicate detection. Optional repo argument accepts `owner/repo` shorthand or full `https://github.com/owner/repo` URL. Omitted → auto-detected from git upstream. Non-GitHub remotes (GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.) stop with warning.
  • `ecosystem` — downstream consumer impact analysis for library maintainers
  • `evolution [<owner>/<repo> | <url>] [v1->v2]` — release evolution: feature × fix association matrix (which features each fix repairs), fix-lineage flow coloured by origin age, feature/fix burn-up with approximate open bugs. Durable store under `.evolution/<host>/<owner>/<repo>/`: reruns resume, extend and rescore; user corrections in its `overrides.csv`. Flags (evolution only, ignored elsewhere): `--full` rebuild the store (keeps clone, overrides, saved LLM verdicts) · `--break-lock` remove a lock the run cannot prove stale, after confirmation · `--adjudicate` LLM step for ambiguous rows (off by default until hand-labelled evaluation via `evolution_eval.py` passes) · `--bug-labels "<a,b>"` replace the default bug label set · `--tag-prefix "<p>"` scan one package of a monorepo whose tags carry that prefix (`pkg-v1.2.0` → `pkg-v`), with its own store and report
  • `--reply` — only valid with `N` or a direct report path; spawns shepherd to draft contributor-facing reply after thread analysis. Silently ignored for other modes.
  • `--quick` — only meaningful with `vitality`; fast daily-scorecard path skipping Codex independent review (Step 5) and mandatory adversarial rework loop (Step 6), reduces spawns to core 4 (gh-scraper + 3 axis scorers). Full mode (all quality passes) stays default. Silently ignored for `N`, `ecosystem`, report-path modes.
  • `path/to/report.md` — path to existing report file; only valid combined with `--reply`; skips all analysis, spawns shepherd directly using provided file

</inputs>

<constants>

> Agent health monitoring (CLAUDE.md §6) — applies to every spawn (shepherd, reproduction agent, gh-scraper, repo-warden, adversarial reviewers). Spawns are background; end the turn after each and resume on the completion notification. The constant is a per-agent deadline checked at wake-ups by `agent_watch.py` — not a poll cadence, nothing sleeps.

AGENT_DEADLINE_S=1800  # per spawned agent, from its spawn; covers the former 900 s silence cutoff + 300 s extension with margin

</constants>

  • Key boundary: end of Step 5 — gather/fetch complete, before Step 6 synthesis gate.
  • Preserve: cache-dir (.cache/gh), target # (CLEAN_ARGS), synthesized report path, reply-mode flag.

Agent Resolution

Resolved in Step 1's setup block — the `--reply` hard-fail branch needs `REPLY_MODE` parsed first.

Questions about analyse.

Which coding agents can use analyse?
analyse installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
