skymap-contributors

name: skymap.contributors description: Fetches GitHub contributors for Sky Map and updates the app/src/main/res/values/notranslate-contributors.xml file. Trigger this when asked to "sync contributors", "update contributors", or "refresh credits".

Sky Map Contributors Sync

This skill automates the update of the Sky Map contributors list from GitHub.

Usage

1. Check if tools/no-checkin-github_pat exists in the repo root. If it does, read the token from it (strip any leading 1→ prefix) and pass it as GITHUB_TOKEN.
   • This file must never be checked in — it is a local secret.
   • If the file doesn't exist, check if GITHUB_TOKEN is already set in the environment.
   • Without a token the script still works but is limited to 60 API requests/hour, which may not be enough to fetch all contributor profiles. Warn the user if unauthenticated.
2. Run the script:

   GITHUB_TOKEN=<token> python3 tools/sync-contributors.py
   

3. After the script runs, verify the changes in app/src/main/res/values/notranslate-contributors.xml.

What the script does

• Paginates through all commits on sky-map-team/stardroid via the GitHub API.
• Records contributors in reverse-chronological order of their most recent commit (first appearance in the commit stream).
• Skips bot accounts (logins ending in [bot]).
• For each unique login, fetches the GitHub profile to obtain the user's real name; falls back to the login handle if no name is set.
• Deduplicates by normalizing display names to lowercase alphanumeric — so "John Smith" and "john smith" are treated as the same person.

Standards

• Output file: app/src/main/res/values/notranslate-contributors.xml
• Names are comma-separated, Android-XML-escaped.
• The XML must maintain the notranslate- naming convention to avoid localization issues.
