What this skill does
OSS Hunter 🎯 A precision skill for agents to find, analyze, and strategize for high-impact Open Source contributions. This skill helps you become a top-tier contributor by identifying the most "mergeable" and influential issues in trending repositories. When to Use Use when the user asks to find open source issues to work on. Use when searching for "help wanted" or "good first issue" tasks in specific domains like AI or Web3. Use to generate a "Contribution Dossier" with ready-to-execute strategies for trending projects. Quick Start Ask your agent: "Find me some help-wanted issues in trending AI repositories." "Hunt for bug fixes in langchain-ai/langchain that are suitable for a quick PR." "Generate a contribution dossier for the most recent trending projects on GitHub." Workflow When hunting for contributions, the agent follows this multi-stage protocol: Phase 1: Repository Discovery Use websearch or gh api to find trending repositories. Focus on: Stars > 1000 Recent activity (pushed within 24 hours) Relevant topics (AI, Agentic, Web3, Tooling) Phase 2: Issue Extraction Search for specific labels: help-wanted good-first-issue bug v1 / roadmap Phase 3: Feasibility Analysis Analyze the issue: 1. Reproducibility: Is there a code snippet to reproduce the bug? 2. Impact: How many users does this affect? 3. Mergeability: Check recent PR history. Does the maintainer merge community PRs quickly? 4. Complexity: Can this be solved by an agent with the current tools? Phase 4: The Dossier Generate a structured report for the human: Project Name & Stars Issue Link & Description Root Cause Analysis (based on code inspection) Proposed Fix Strategy Confidence Score (1-10) Limitations Accuracy depends on the availability of gh CLI or websearch tools. Analysis is limited by context window when reading very large repositories. Cannot guarantee PR acceptance (maintainer discretion). --- Contributing to the Matrix Build a better hunter by adding new heuristics to Phase 3. …
