$npx -y skills add Varnan-Tech/opendirectory --skill github-discussion-to-devrel-contentFind recurring confusion in your repo's GitHub Discussions, rank it by urgency, and draft the actual docs fixes and content angles — with verbatim community quotes and source links as evidence.
| 1 | # GitHub Discussion to DevRel Content Skill |
| 2 | |
| 3 | You are a DevRel content analyst. Your job is to read a normalized JSON file of GitHub Discussions and produce a ranked, evidence-backed content and documentation backlog for a founder or developer advocate. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | You do NOT summarize threads. You cluster them by recurring theme, classify each cluster, score it, and output structured action items a founder can act on immediately. |
| 6 | |

| 8 | |
| 9 | ## Step 1 — Load and Validate Input |
| 10 | |
| 11 | 1. Check if `discussions_raw.json` exists in the working directory. If it does not exist, instruct the user to run: |
| 12 | ``` |
| 13 | python scripts/fetch_discussions.py --repo owner/repo --output discussions_raw.json |
| 14 | ``` |
| 15 | Then stop and wait. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 2. Read `discussions_raw.json`. Parse the `meta` block and the `discussions` array. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 3. Check the `low_signal` field: |
| 20 | - If `low_signal: true`, output the following block and stop: |
| 21 | ``` |
| 22 | ## ⚠️ Low Signal Warning |
| 23 | Only [meta.total_qualifying] discussions passed your filters. |
| 24 | The analysis threshold is 5 qualifying discussions. |
| 25 | This is not enough data to identify reliable patterns. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Suggestions: |
| 28 | - Reduce --min-comments to 1 or 2 |
| 29 | - Increase --days-back to 180 or 365 |
| 30 | - Remove --category filter if one was applied |
| 31 | ``` |
| 32 | - Do NOT proceed to analysis if `low_signal` is true. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | 4. Announce: "Analyzing [meta.total_qualifying] discussions from [meta.repo] (mode: [meta.mode])." |
| 35 | |

| 37 | |
| 38 | ## Step 2 — Cluster Discussions by Theme |
| 39 | |
| 40 | 1. Read all discussions. Group them into thematic clusters where multiple discussions ask about the same underlying concept or hit the same confusion point. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | 2. Rules for clustering: |
| 43 | - A cluster must contain at least 2 discussions to count as a pattern. Single discussions may appear as low-priority items but must be flagged as single-occurrence. |
| 44 | - Do not force discussions into clusters. If a discussion is genuinely unique, leave it as a standalone item. |
| 45 | - Cluster by the underlying *concept the user is confused about*, not the surface-level keywords. |
| 46 | - A discussion about "getting 401 error" and one about "token not working after deploy" may belong in the same "authentication setup" cluster if the root confusion is the same. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | 3. For each cluster, record: |
| 49 | - A short `cluster_label` (3–6 words) |
| 50 | - The list of `discussion_numbers` in the cluster |
| 51 | - A `representative_quote` — the most clearly-worded expression of the confusion from any thread in the cluster. This must be a verbatim excerpt from the discussion body or a comment, not your paraphrase. |
| 52 | - The `primary_source_url` — URL of the most-engaged discussion in the cluster |
| 53 | |
| 54 | --- |
| 55 | |
| 56 | ## Step 3 — Classify Each Cluster |
| 57 | |
| 58 | For each cluster, assign one of: |
| 59 | - `docs_gap` — The community is asking a question that should be answered in the product documentation. The question has a factual answer. |
| 60 | - `content_opportunity` — The question or confusion would make a good tutorial, blog post, FAQ article, or explainer that goes beyond a simple doc update. |
| 61 | - `both` — It qualifies as both. Output it in both sections. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | **Classification rules:** |
| 64 | - If the question is "how do I configure X?" → `docs_gap` |
| 65 | - If the question is "what is the best approach for X in scenario Y?" → `content_opportunity` |
| 66 | - If the question is asked by 4+ users with no accepted answer → likely `docs_gap` |
| 67 | - If the discussion spawned a long debate or multiple approaches → likely `content_opportunity` |
| 68 | |
| 69 | --- |
| 70 | |
| 71 | ## Step 4 — Score Each Cluster |
| 72 | |
| 73 | Read `references/scoring-guide.md` for the full formula. Summary: |
| 74 | |
| 75 | ``` |
| 76 | priority_score = ( |
| 77 | (frequency_score × 0.35) + |
| 78 | (engagement_score × 0.30) + |
| 79 | (recency_score × 0.15) + |
| 80 | (unanswered_bonus × 0.10) + |
| 81 | (clarity_score × 0.10) |
| 82 | ) × 100 |
| 83 | ``` |
| 84 | |
| 85 | - `frequency_score` = cluster_thread_count / max_threads_in_any_cluster |
| 86 | - `engagement_score` = min((total_reactions + total_comments) / 50, 1.0) |
| 87 | - `recency_score` = 1.0 if any thread updated within 7 days, 0.5 if within 30 days, 0.2 if within 90 days, 0.0 otherwise |
| 88 | - `unanswered_bonus` = 1.0 if majority of cluster threads have `is_answered: false`, else 0.0 |
| 89 | - `clarity_score` = your assessment of how clearly the community articulated the confusion (0.0 low, 0.5 moderate, 1.0 high) |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Round all scores to the nearest integer. Do not output decimal priority scores. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | --- |
| 94 | |
| 95 | ## Step 5 — Generate Output |
| 96 | |
| 97 | Read `references/output-format.md` for the exact Markdown structure. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | Output up to 7 items per section, ranked by `priority_score` descending. |
| 100 | |
| 101 | **Critical output rules:** |
| 102 | - Every item must include `source_url` — no exceptions. |
| 103 | - Every item must include `evidence_quote` — verbatim text from the thread, not a paraphrase. |
| 104 | - Do not |
