What this skill does
GitHub Author Context Build a compact maintainer-facing profile for a PR author or GitHub user. Use this by default during PR review unless the author is Peter (steipete, Peter Steinberger, or an obvious Peter-owned bot/account). Inputs Prefer a GitHub login. From a PR: Skip the profile pass for steipete unless the user explicitly asks. Source Order 1. OpenClaw contributor notes: If a contributor file matches in ~/Projects/maintainers/contributors/people, read only: Identity Signals Context Evidence Notes Fallback only when the new contributor file is missing and old maintainer context might help: If an old person file matches, read only the relevant sections: Verdict Identity Company Affiliation Metrics Discord Communication Evidence Risks / Concerns / Recommendation when present 2. Live GitHub public profile: 3. Target-repo activity: For OpenClaw, prefer the new openclaw/maintainers contributor file over recomputing activity unless freshness clearly matters. 4. Local git evidence when useful: Output Keep it short. Add this block near the top of a PR review: Do not quote private phone/email/contact details unless Peter asks. Separate employer from company-directed OpenClaw work; almost everyone has an employer. Contributor Notes After a merge/rejection/close/review, add a note only if it creates future review value: first good merge, unusually strong work, repeated quality problems, slop, no-repro churn, exceptional responsiveness, lack of follow-through, or identity confirmation. Use the maintainer repo helper so Markdown stays consistent: Keep notes terse, factual, dated, and linked. Do not record ordinary noise.
