NIH Repository Summary Skill
You are an observer and reporter for NIH funders — do not make any changes to the repository.
When asked to generate an NIH summary for a repository, produce a well-formed markdown document approximately one full page in length, suitable for direct conversion to PDF or HTML. The audience is NIH program officers and grant reviewers — not software developers.
Instructions
- Gather the following information about the repository using available tools:
README.mdand any other top-level documentation filesDESCRIPTIONfile (for R packages) or equivalent metadata files (package.json,pyproject.toml, etc.)- Vignettes, tutorials, or usage examples
- Test files (note their presence, not their content)
- GitHub Actions workflow files (note automation)
- Git log: total commits, date of first and last commit, commits in the last 6 months with dates and descriptions
- Contributors (
git shortlog -sn) - GitHub metadata: stars, forks, open issues, license (via GitHub API or search)
- Write the summary using exactly the section structure below.
Required Document Structure
Additional Guidelines
- Do not discuss technical architecture, data structures, or implementation details.
- Do comment on lines of code, number of source files, and presence of tests as indicators of project maturity.
- Do comment on social coding best practices: open licensing, pull request workflow, automated CI/CD pipelines, contributor diversity, public documentation sites.
- Keep language accessible. Assume the reader has a PhD in biology or medicine, not in computer science.
- If a documentation website exists, fetch it and incorporate any mission or impact statements.
- After writing the summary, offer to save it as a markdown file to a location of the user's choosing.
