SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires curl, git, python3, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates the manual effort of finding suitable open-source issues, staging the necessary code changes, implementing fixes, and submitting well-formed pull requests with safety guardrails.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architect-Builder GitHub contributions: delegates focused code editing to subagents while the main agent performs all git operations and GitHub/network I/O.
  • Difficulty-scoped issue fixes: scouts issues and applies graduated complexity levels (warm-up docs/typos up to deeper multi-module fixes).
  • Quality and safety enforcement: applies rules to avoid sensitive/auth/secret file paths, encourages tests/CI verification, and requires meaningful, issue-referenced PRs.
  • API-first for simple cases: uses GitHub contents endpoints for small doc/code edits to reduce latency and cloning overhead.
  • Use case: keep your GitHub contributions consistent by automatically selecting “good first issue”/documentation tasks, implementing minimal fixes, and opening PRs under your identity.

Quick Start

Install the skill via ClawHub and run it on a schedule to automatically scout eligible GitHub issues and generate PR-ready fixes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate fixing GitHub issues and submitting pull requests?

Automating GitHub pull requests is achieved by scouting open-source issues, staging repository context, implementing minimal fixes, and opening pull requests autonomously using an Architect-Builder orchestration model.

How does the Architect-Builder model work for open-source code editing?

The Architect-Builder model delegates focused code editing to subagents returning deterministic code changes, while the main agent performs all git operations and GitHub API network I/O under strict safety constraints.

Do I need git and python3 installed to automate GitHub pull requests?

Yes, automating GitHub pull requests requires curl, git, and python3 installed in your environment to execute the scripts needed for repository staging and API interactions.

Can I use GitHub contents endpoints for small documentation fixes to avoid cloning?

Yes, for small documentation and code edits, GitHub contents endpoints are used API-first to apply changes directly, reducing latency and avoiding the overhead of cloning full repositories.

What are the safety limitations for automated code editing in open-source contributions?

Automated code editing applies safety constraints by avoiding sensitive authentication or secret file paths, encouraging tests and CI verification, and requiring meaningful, issue-referenced pull requests.

What types of GitHub issues can be fixed autonomously?

Autonomously fixed GitHub issues range from warm-up documentation and typo corrections to deeper moderate multi-file and multi-module bug fixes, graduated by scoped complexity levels.
