Description

Currently repo-intel monitors individual repositories specified by URL. For teams tracking competitors, it would be more useful to monitor an entire GitHub organization and automatically discover new repos.

What this would do:

  • Accept org names (e.g. vercel, supabase) as inputs alongside repo URLs
  • Use GitHub Orgs API to list public repos for the org
  • Track new repo creation as an intelligence signal ('Competitor launched a new public repo: xyz')
  • Aggregate org-level metrics (total stars trend, contributor growth, release cadence across repos)

Implementation approach:

  • Add organizations input to action.yml (comma-separated org names)
  • Fetch org repos via GET /orgs/{org}/repos
  • Include org-level summary section in the intelligence digest

This feature would differentiate repo-intel from simpler GitHub notification tools.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current action.yml input schema and the repo listing logic. Extend to accept organization names, use GitHub Orgs API to list repos, and aggregate metrics for the digest.
