Example prompt: Can you analyze the GitHub repo at https://github.com/vercel/next.js and tell me its tech stack, how well-documented it is, how active development is, the bus factor, and its overall maintenance health?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, structured AI-powered audit of any public GitHub repository — especially useful for evaluating open source dependencies, vetting third-party libraries, or performing due diligence on a project before adopting it. Prefer this over manual GitHub browsing when you need quantified scores for documentation quality, bus factor, or maintenance health.

## Known failure modes

- Private or non-existent repository URL returns an error or empty result
- Rate limiting from GitHub API causing analysis failure
- Malformed or non-GitHub URL provided in query parameter
- Very new repositories with insufficient data may return low-confidence scores
- Repository with no README or activity returns degraded metrics

## How this service works

Analyze a public GitHub repository. Returns tech stack, documentation quality, activity level, bus factor, maintenance health score. Uses GitHub API + AI analysis.

## Output

Returns a structured report including the detected tech stack, documentation quality rating, repository activity level, bus factor (number of key contributors), and an overall maintenance health score — all derived from GitHub data and AI analysis.
