Breakout repo velocity alert to Slack

Checks trending-repo snapshots a few times a day and posts a Slack alert the moment any repository's star velocity crosses a breakout threshold, with a link and one-line summary.

  • OutputPost breakout alert to SlackSlack

What it does

Watches the velocity data already landing in BigQuery and fires a real-time Slack alert when a repository accelerates past a configurable star-per-hour threshold. It catches breakout projects while they are still climbing instead of in next week's report.

When to use it

Use it when your team wants to be first to notice a project going viral — for partnerships, investment scouting, or competitive watch — and a daily or weekly digest is too slow.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires several times per day.
  2. 2A BigQuery action reads the latest two snapshots and computes per-repo star velocity.
  3. 3A logic branch keeps only repos whose velocity exceeds the breakout threshold and that have not already been alerted in this run window.
  4. 4A Brave Search action grabs a one-line description for each breakout repo.
  5. 5A Slack output step posts a formatted alert with repo, velocity, language, and link.
