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)
