SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It answers the recurring question of whether a protocol's ecosystem is growing or stalling by turning scattered signals — new GitHub integrations, npm download velocity, and announcements — into a single weekly momentum score. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fresh integration detection: Searches GitHub via the gh CLI for repos updated in the last 7 days and diffs them against a known-integrations baseline. - npm adoption tracking: Fetches weekly download counts per watched package from the npm API and computes deltas against the last recorded values. - Momentum scoring and notification: Scores signals into quiet/building/accelerating/breakout levels, persists state per protocol, and sends a formatted notification. - Use Case: Run it weekly to monitor x402 (or any configured protocol) and receive a short digest of new integrations, download trends, and notable news. ## Quick Start Run the protocol monitor to check this week's x402 ecosystem activity and send me the momentum summary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track a protocol's ecosystem growth on GitHub?▼

Use the gh CLI to search repositories matching the protocol name, filter to repos updated in the last 7 days, and diff results against a stored list of known integrations. New matches indicate fresh adoption.

How do I monitor npm package download trends over time?▼

Fetch weekly download counts from the npm API endpoint api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-week/<pkg> and compare each result against the last recorded value. Store the new count after each run to compute deltas week over week.

Can I track a protocol other than x402 with this skill?▼

Yes. Edit memory/topics/tracked-protocol.md to add a new protocol stanza with its GitHub search queries, npm packages, and WebSearch queries, then either set it as the default or pass its name as the var parameter.

What happens if the tracked protocol config is incomplete?▼

If the resolved stanza is missing GitHub search queries, npm packages, or WebSearch queries, the skill logs PROTOCOL_MONITOR_NO_CONFIG and exits without sending a notification.

Why does the skill skip sending a notification some weeks?▼

When the momentum score is zero — no new repos, no npm movement, and no news — the skill logs PROTOCOL_MONITOR_OK: quiet and skips the notification to avoid noise.
