git/star-history-chart embeds star charts in READMEs

git/star-history-chart is a skill for the Claude Code Templates CLI that generates a repository's star history chart as an SVG and embeds it in the README. The system uses the repository's native GITHUB_TOKEN to fetch stargazer data via a GitHub Actions workflow and commits the output directly, eliminating the need for third-party services or external secret configurations.

// ANALYSIS

Native GitHub Actions-based generation is a reliable and secure alternative to fragile third-party star history APIs. By storing the rendered SVG directly in the repository, developers gain a dependency-free chart with minimal setup.

* Zero-Secret Setup: Uses the repository's built-in GITHUB_TOKEN to access star data securely.

* SVG Uptime: Commits the SVG directly to the repo, ensuring the chart is always rendered and loaded quickly.

* Quick Installation: Deployed via claude-code-templates CLI for simple integration.
