contributor

contributor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from majiayu000/spellbook. It costs 111 tokens per session (2,375 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for contributing changes to open-source projects, which are publicly developed software projects whose code and decisions involve outside contributors.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for finding suitable GitHub issues, checking related pull requests, preparing changes, and submitting contributions.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of fixing the wrong part of a project, duplicating someone else's work, or ignoring the project's contribution rules.

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 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 9d 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.

Contributor

Automated open source contribution workflow that takes you from a GitHub repo URL to merged PRs, with built-in safeguards against common contribution failures.

Why this skill exists

Open source contributions fail for predictable reasons: fixing in the wrong layer (your PR gets closed because the maintainer preferred an upstream fix), colliding with other contributors, not following project conventions, or over-engineering a simple fix. This workflow prevents each of those failures through systematic pre-checks.

Phase 1: Reconnaissance

Before writing any code, gather intelligence about the project and its contribution landscape.

1.1 Identify the target

Ask the user for:

  • The GitHub repo URL (e.g., pydantic/pydantic-ai)
  • Their GitHub username and email for commits
  • Any specific issue they want to work on (or ask to scan for available ones)

1.2 Scan for available issues

Use gh CLI to find issues worth contributing to:

# Get open issues with metadata
gh issue list -R <owner>/<repo> --state open --limit 50 \
  --json number,title,labels,assignees,comments

# Check for competing PRs on each candidate
gh pr list -R <owner>/<repo> --state open \
  --search "<issue_number> in:title,body"

Filter criteria (apply in order):

  1. No assignee
  2. No open PR already fixing it (check both linked PRs and title/body search)
  3. Fewer than 5 competing PRs
  4. Prefer labels: bug, good first issue, help wanted
  5. Prefer issues with maintainer comments suggesting a fix direction

1.3 Deep-read issue comments

For each candidate issue, read the full comment thread:

gh issue view <number> -R <owner>/<repo> --json body,comments

Extract:

  • Maintainer fix direction: Do they prefer fixing here or in an upstream dependency?
  • Suggested approach: Any code pointers, file references, or architectural guidance?
  • Blockers: Is this waiting on another PR or release?
  • Who's working on it: Even without assignment, someone might have commented "I'll take this"

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.
