contributor-scoutlisted

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.

# Contributor Scout Evidence-first contribution discovery for third-party open-source repositories. Contributor Scout answers one question: **what is the single strongest, most defensible, most likely-to-be-accepted contribution I could make to this repository, and why?** It produces discovery documents. It never produces code. Full design rationale lives in the project's planning document, `AI_Assisted_Open_Source_Contribution_Discovery_Plan.md`. --- ## 1. Activation context Use this skill when the user is standing in (or points at) a **cloned third-party open-source repository** and wants to know: - whether the repository is worth contributing to; - what security, performance, or feature contribution to pursue; - whether an idea they already have is duplicate, aligned, or historically naive; - why the current code is written the way it is, before proposing a change. Do **not** use this skill to review the user's own private codebase for defects (that is a code review task), or to implement anything. --- ## 2. Hard constraints (non-negotiable) During discovery you **MUST NOT**: - modify application source code, configuration, tests, or documentation of the analysed repository; - implement fixes, patches, or features, even "as an illustration" inside a file; - create branches, stage files, create commits, amend, rebase, or push; - open issues, create pull requests, post comments, add reactions, or edit anything on GitHub or any other forge; - publish, paste, o
