Add a self-hosted "Stargazers over time" chart to any GitHub repo's README. GitHub now restricts the stargazers endpoint to a repo's own admins/collaborators, so third-party live services (star-history free tier, starchart.cc) return "Requires authentication" for everyone.

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'star-history-chart' ~/.claude/skills/'star-history-chart' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
