Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
README is primarily in Thai, each submission is a standalone shell script with its own sample output.
This repository is the submission archive for Workshop 03 from a Thai programming group called Oracle School. The assignment was to build a shell skill that reads a GitHub repository's activity, including commits, pull requests, and issues, and turns that data into a readable timeline that a non-developer can understand within 30 seconds. Seven participants submitted their work. Each submission lives in its own folder and includes a runnable shell script, a sample output file showing the tool applied to a target repository called maw-js, and a short PDF book written alongside the code. The workshop collected all submissions into an index showing each participant's name, their skill's name, and the approach they took. Approaches varied: one looked at code that was added and then deleted as a signal of wasted motion rather than real progress, another built a unified day-by-day table of all activity types, and another separated human contributors from bots. The workshop materials illustrate a specific insight the participants were supposed to discover: combining commits, pull requests, and issues onto a single time axis reveals things that looking at commits alone does not. In the sample data, one day showed 229 commits, but it was only when pull requests and issues were included that it became clear that was a sprint day when the whole team finished work together. The README is written primarily in Thai. The repository also includes two reference skills used during the workshop, one for generating PDF books and one for Thai language editing. This is a learning exercise repository, not a general-purpose tool.
