Contribute Command Center

Overview

Operate an upstream-contribution system whose durable state is readable local text, not a database or cloud service:

1. GitHub is authoritative for live issue and PR state.
2. Candidate files live at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/OWNER__REPO__issueNUMBER.md.
3. Repo dossiers live at ~/.contribute-system/research/OWNER__REPO.md.
4. An append-only event log lives at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl.

This skill applies only to contributions into repositories outside the user's own accounts and organizations. Treat jeremylongshore/* and intent-solutions-io/* as out of scope. If a candidate points to an owned repository, report a scout defect and stop this workflow.
