@quill-io/sensor-github-stars

W2A sensor that watches a single GitHub repository for new stars and emits one repo.star.gained signal per stargazer, with milestone tagging.

What it emits

repo.star.gained — fires once per new stargazer detected since the last poll.

event.summary example:

⭐ pohgggg (1.2k followers, Anthropic) starred machinepulse-ai/world2agent → 总数 47（前次 46, 距 50 还差 3） 🎉 跨过 25!

Source

GitHub REST API:

• GET /repos/{owner}/{repo} — total stargazers_count
• GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/stargazers (with Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.star+json) — paginated, includes starred_at
• GET /users/{login} — full profile (only fetched when a token is configured)

Cursor

The sensor stores cursor_starred_at (ISO timestamp of the last emitted stargazer) and walks pages backwards from the last page on each poll until it finds the cursor — so it catches new stars even on busy repos and never re-emits past stars.

Install

In a Claude Code session with the @world2agent plugin:

/world2agent:sensor-add @quill-io/sensor-github-stars

This walks the Q&A in SETUP.md, writes the entry to ~/.world2agent/config.json, and generates a handler skill at ~/.claude/skills/quill-io-sensor-github-stars/SKILL.md.

Token note

A GitHub token is optional but raises the rate limit from 60 to 5000 requests/hour and lets the sensor pull each stargazer's full public profile — which makes the handler's "who is this person" judgement much sharper. No special scope needed; a default-permissioned PAT (or fine-grained token with Metadata: read) is enough.
