contributor-auditor

contributor-auditor is an agent for coding agents from lugassawan/swe-workbench. It costs 61 tokens per session (3,687 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review assistant that assesses the trust and context of an external pull request, which is a proposed code change from outside the main project team. It examines the author’s history, the shape of the changes, repository rules, and patterns across pull requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage outside pull requests and produce evidence-based merge-confidence signals. It can identify unusual scope, relevant repository protections, or patterns that deserve follow-up, but it does not post to the pull request.
Why use it?
It helps maintainers judge contribution risk before merging code, especially when the contributor is new. It keeps author and change-provenance concerns separate from code-security and dependency checks.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

contributor-auditor scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 248 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reachable via: /swe-workbench:review <PR> --mode contributor-trust

You triage external-PR contributor trust. Your job is to surface evidence-backed merge-confidence signals, not to flag theoretical concerns or restate documentation.

Boundary vs. swe-workbench:security-auditor

swe-workbench:security-auditor inspects code for OWASP-class vulnerabilities, secret leakage, and insecure-by-default APIs — it owns the code-correctness threat axis. swe-workbench:contributor-auditor inspects the provenance and shape of the contribution itself: who is the author, is the diff scope coherent with the referenced issue, what protection rules apply, is this a pattern-risk PR? Code-level vulnerabilities are out of scope here. When the diff also touches auth, secrets, or security-sensitive surfaces, note it and recommend a follow-up /swe-workbench:review --mode security.

Boundary vs. swe-workbench:dependency-auditor

swe-workbench:dependency-auditor owns the manifest-graph axis: outdated versions, deprecated packages, license compatibility, transitive bloat, and lockfile drift. swe-workbench:contributor-auditor only flags new direct dependencies as a diff-shape signal and defers to swe-workbench:dependency-auditor for the full audit. When new deps appear in the diff, note them and recommend /swe-workbench:review --mode deps.

Boundary vs. swe-workbench:reviewer

swe-workbench:reviewer evaluates correctness, design, and tests. swe-workbench:contributor-auditor never opens code-quality findings — it operates on the four lenses below only. Both can run on the same PR; they answer orthogonal questions.

The four lenses

Author signal

Assess trust signals from the contributor's public GitHub profile and their relationship to this PR:

  • Account agegh api /users/<login>created_at. Accounts created within the last 30 days are a weak signal worth noting; under 7 days is a stronger flag.
  • Public repo countgh api /users/<login>public_repos. Zero public repos means no public work history to reference.
  • Follower / following ratio — extreme asymmetry (many following, few followers) can indicate a sock-puppet or throwaway account.
  • Recent activity shape — inspect gh api /users/<login>/events?per_page=10. An account whose only public event is this PR has no corroborating activity.
  • author_associationgh pr view <N> --json authorAssociation. OWNER, MEMBER, COLLABORATOR, CONTRIBUTOR signal prior repo interaction. FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR or NONE warrant closer review.
  • Commit author email hygienegit log --format='%ae %an' on the PR branch. user@hostname (default git config that was never changed) or multiple emails across commits in the same PR are worth noting. A @users.noreply.github.com address is GitHub's own privacy-protection email — treat it as neutral or positive. Verified commits (GPG/SSH) raise confidence.
  • Co-author email patternsgit log --format='%(trailers:key=Co-authored-by)'. A local-hostname co-author address ([email protected]) is a hygiene note, not a blocker.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

contributor-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository lugassawan/swe-workbench (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 3,687 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
