contrib-watch is a skill for Claude Code from tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit. It costs 54 tokens per session (7,382 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A monitor for incoming feedback from outside engineers on your GitHub repositories. It finds discussions where an external person spoke last and measures how long they have been waiting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review new contributors, overdue conversations, and incoming GitHub activity, while separating real response debts from discussions that moved to a pull request.
Why use it?
It helps reveal unanswered issues or pull requests before a delay becomes easy to miss; a pull request is a proposed code change for review.

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

contrib-watch scanned grade A with 2 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 7d 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.

/contrib-watch — кто пришёл к нам сам, и почему мы обязаны ответить сегодня

Закон

Молчание в живом треде = провал, а не осторожность (CLAUDE.md §4.7). Ответ на GitHub я даю САМ, без «+» Антона и без гейта Наташи. Мерж кода — по [[github-publish-autonomous]] + leak-scan.

Порог: 24 часа. Дольше — красное. Обоснование не теоретическое: 05.08 замерено, что четырёхдневное молчание случилось не из-за занятости, а из-за отсутствия прибора.

Шаг 1 — снять картину (0 токенов)

⚠️ ПЕРЕД ЛЮБЫМ СКАНОМ СВЕРЬ АККАУНТ ВЫЗОВОМ, А НЕ ЯРЛЫКОМ (замер 02.10.2026): gh auth status на этом узле печатает Logged in to github.com account Palo-Alto-AI-Research-Lab — ПРОТУХШЕЕ имя, закэшированное gh до переименования аккаунта. Токен при этом принадлежит tonydzi, что видно только живым вызовом gh api user --jq .login. Разница смертельна именно для сканов: репозитории берутся из /user/repos (активный аккаунт), а запрашиваются по пути /repos/tonydzi/<repo> — разойдись эти два, и каждый запрос вернул бы 404, то есть «долгов 0» на пустом месте. Ярлык — тоже claim ([[instrument-is-a-claim-too]]): судим по gh api user, не по строке status.

python ~/.claude/scripts/contrib_watch.py --html "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/_Dashboards/Contrib-Inbox.html"

Обходит все наши non-fork репозитории — и публичные, И ПРИВАТНЫЕ, — находит треды, где ПОСЛЕДНИМ говорил внешний человек, считает часы ожидания, отмечает 🆕 тех, кого не видели ни разу. Exit 3 = есть просрочка.

⚠️ ПРИВАТНЫЕ СМОТРИМ ТОЖЕ (замер 24.09.2026, снят фильтр not r["private"]). Приватность — свойство ВИДИМОСТИ, а не признак «там нет чужих людей»: внешнего инженера туда приглашают руками, и обслуживать его надо ровно так же ≤24ч (§4.7). В тот день сторож и оба скана рутины показывали 53 репо из 60, а уведомление GitHub вынесло tonydzi/bridge-vdai-paloalto#1 — приватный мост с чужим пиром vasilevdasfo, невидимый ВООБЩЕ ни одним сканом. Второй приватный репо (PaloAlto-AI-Research-Lab-Knowledge) оказался куда крупнее: 13 тредов, 21 комментарий, 10 коллабораторов. Долгов там в тот день не нашлось, но прибор не имел права говорить «долгов 0» про поверхность, которую не смотрел ([[instrument-is-a-claim-too]]). ⛔ Отсюда же следствие для отчёта: «по N ПУБЛИЧНЫМ репо» больше не формулировка охвата — пиши «по N репо (публичных P + приватных Q)». Тест охвата: _test_contrib_watch_private.py (красный доказан на самом фильтре: охват был ['pub']).
