# Can I Help: interest-routed contribution matching Turn repository state into contributor action. Collect project context, ask the developer what kind of contribution they want, map that interest to the strongest native signals, then return exact file/line recommendations with data-backed rationale and an executable first step. The invariant: no vague "look around `src/`". Every recommendation names a file and preferably a line, states why the target matters, explains the local code in 2 to 3 sentences, and gives the first command or edit. ## When to Apply / NOT Apply: - A contributor asks where to start, what needs work, or what would be a good first issue. - A maintainer wants to route a helper toward tests, bugs, docs, or cleanup using repo evidence. - An OSS project has open issues but unclear contribution paths. - The user wants quick, low-risk cleanup and accepts the verification gate before deletion claims. NOT: - The user already named the exact task or issue; solve that task instead. - The repo cannot be read locally and no public issue tracker is available; report the missing substrate. - The user asks for maintainer-only triage, release planning, or architectural roadmap work. - The request is pure project orientation with no contribution decision; produce orientation, not recommendations. ## Workflow 1. **Resolve target and collect base context.** Default target = current repo unless the user supplied a path. Capture the project shape before ranking anythi...

first-contribution

Guides a developer through making their first (or next) open-source contribution end to end — picking a beginner-friendly repository, finding a genuinely open "good first issue" (filtering out ones that are secretly already claimed via linked PRs, assignees, or resolving comments), and walking through the actual fix using an AI coding editor. Use this skill whenever the user wants to start contributing to open source, asks for a "good first issue," wants to know if a GitHub repo is beginner-friendly, wants to build up their GitHub contribution history/portfolio, or asks which project to contribute to — even if they only mention a language, framework, or interest area (e.g. "I want to contribute to something Rust-related") rather than saying "open source" explicitly.

contributor-scout

Discover evidence-backed open-source contribution opportunities in a cloned repository. Analyses security, performance, and feature opportunities; checks issues, pull requests, discussions, and Git history for duplicates and maintainer intent; scores candidates; and writes discovery documents under contribution-discovery/. Discovery only - never modifies source code, never commits, never opens issues or pull requests. Use when the user asks what to contribute to a repository, wants to find a good first contribution, wants a security/performance/feature review aimed at contributing upstream, or asks whether a repository is worth contributing to.

contrib-scout

Research any open-source repository end to end and answer the core question — SHOULD YOU contribute to it? — with a GO / NO-GO / GO-IF verdict backed by evidence: snapshot, momentum, contribution landscape (PR acceptance rates, outside-contributor merge rates, time-to-merge and time-to-first-response latency, first-timer outcomes), available-work inventory, issue health, governance, community sentiment, and event fitness for Hacktoberfest / GSoC. Use when the user asks 'should I contribute to X', wants a before-I-contribute due-diligence check on a project, asks whether a project accepts outside PRs, wants contribution-health numbers like PR merge rates or stale-PR counts, asks which repo to pick for Hacktoberfest or Google Summer of Code or an open-source portfolio, asks whether a repo is worth their time, wants to find unclaimed good-first-issues, or asks for a deep dive on an open-source codebase's health and dynamics before investing time in it.
