oss-contribution-research
Research and prepare an outside contribution to an open-source repo, then stop at a queue item for a human to approve: policy check, intake, duplicate check, reproduction, patch, the repo's own checks, an independent critic rerun, and a disclosed, hashed draft of the exact text to post. Use this skill whenever the user wants to contribute to someone else's repo, fix an upstream bug, pick up a good-first-issue, draft an AI-assisted pull request for an outside project, follow up on their own outside PR, or run a gated contribution pipeline. Triggers on open source contribution, contribute to this repo, upstream fix, outside PR, external PR, good first issue, fix this issue in their repo, contribution research, AI-assisted PR, disclose AI in PR, reply to review on my PR. Also triggers when the user names an issue in a repo they do not maintain and asks for a fix, even if they do not say contribute.

# OSS Contribution Research
Prepare one outside contribution to an open-source repo, gate by gate, and stop at a queue item a human approves. The agent running this skill never posts.
---
## When to use
- Picking up an existing issue or confirmed bug in a repo the user does not maintain
- Checking whether a repo accepts AI-assisted pull requests before any work starts
- Asking a maintainer for a go-ahead before writing a patch (an intake comment)
- Turning a fix into a small, disclosed pull request draft that a human approves
- Following up on the user's own outside pull request: a review reply, the 14-day ping, or the 28-day close
- Running a contribution pipeline with an approval queue and a per-repo registry
