## Overview

CyberWatchdog is a scheduled GitHub repository tracker: it gathers cybersecurity-related repositories, summarizes their popularity and metadata, and updates the README with the results. The README documents the weekly GitHub Actions trigger and the output fields. No script source was provided, so the internal stages and their wiring are limited to what the README describes; the exact filtering, ranking, and write implementation is unverified.

Main entry points: [`cyberwatchdog.sh`](https://github.com/iamthefrogy/cyberwatchdog/blob/main/cyberwatchdog.sh) (CyberWatchdog script), [`README.md`](https://github.com/iamthefrogy/cyberwatchdog/blob/main/README.md) (Repository results)
