GRA Release Radar agent view

Identity

GRA Release Radar is a free, client-only GitHub release analytics tool for maintainers and teams. It analyzes public release asset downloads, release cadence, package coverage, platform adoption, and repository context from the user's browser.

When to use

• Use it for public GitHub release asset download analytics.
• Use it for release cadence and monthly momentum review.
• Use it for operating system, CPU architecture, and artifact type breakdowns.
• Use it when a user wants a browser-only report and can provide a repository name or URL.

When not to use

• Do not use it as a hosted analysis API. No such API is currently operated.
• Do not use it as a package registry analytics service for npm, PyPI, crates.io, or container pulls.
• Do not claim it counts GitHub source archive downloads. GitHub does not expose those counts as release asset downloads.
• Do not claim live MCP, SDK, CLI, OAuth, webhook, or streaming support.

Input and authentication

Input is an owner/repo string or GitHub repository URL. Authentication is optional. Public repositories work without authentication until GitHub API limits are reached. A user can paste a GitHub personal access token in the browser for higher GitHub API quota or repository access allowed by that token.

Capabilities

• Fetch up to 1,000 GitHub releases and their assets.
• Calculate total downloads, asset count, release count, shipped asset size, and median release cadence.
• Group downloads by release, month, semver class, operating system, architecture, and file type.
• Show release lag, asset freshness, adoption buckets, churn, Pareto concentration, and anomaly signals.
• Show repository stars, forks, open issues, watchers, languages, contributors, and commit activity when GitHub returns them.
