    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

oss-find-issue scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 12d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 336 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find Issue

Find a real, unclaimed issue that matches your skills. from repos that actually want your contribution. This skill does the research; you decide what's worth your time.

Purpose

Not every issue is worth picking up. Random issues filed by drive-by users often get closed without merging. Issues from maintainers and org members are the ones that get reviewed and merged. This skill finds those, checks if the repo accepts outside contributions, and matches issues to what you actually know. so you don't waste weeks on something that gets rejected or ignored.

Prerequisites

  • A GitHub account with gh CLI authenticated
  • A target repo or area of interest (language, framework, domain)

Process

1. Understand the contributor

Before searching for anything, understand who's contributing. Ask the user:

  • "What languages and frameworks are you comfortable with?"
  • "What's your experience level? (first contribution / a few PRs merged / experienced contributor)"
  • "Any specific repos or domains you're interested in? (web, CLI tools, data, infra, etc.)"

Do NOT skip this. Issue matching without knowing the contributor is useless.

2. Check contribution eligibility

Before looking at a single issue, verify the repo accepts outside contributions:

# Fetch contribution guidelines
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/CONTRIBUTING.md --jq '.content' | base64 -d 2>/dev/null
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md --jq '.content' | base64 -d 2>/dev/null
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md --jq '.content' | base64 -d 2>/dev/null

Check for:

  • Explicit "we welcome contributions": if absent, that's a yellow flag
  • CLA requirements: some orgs require signing a Contributor License Agreement before any PR
  • "Internal only" signals: some repos state contributions are restricted to org members
  • Stale contribution docs: if CONTRIBUTING.md references tools/processes from 3+ years ago, the repo may not be actively maintained
  • Recent external PRs merged: strongest signal that outside contributions are welcome
