SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers and organizations identify which of their open-source project dependencies are eligible for sponsorship through platforms like GitHub Sponsors, making it easier to support the maintainers they rely on.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency Analysis: Scans direct and transitive dependencies of a given GitHub repository.
  • Sponsorship Verification: Uses multiple sources (deps.dev API, FUNDING.yml, npm metadata, web search) to find and verify sponsorship links.
  • Project Health Data: Integrates OSSF Scorecard data to show the maintenance status of dependency projects.
  • Use Case: You want to understand the sponsorship landscape for a critical library your company uses. Running this skill on the library's repository will provide a clear report of which dependencies can be sponsored, how, and their general health.

Quick Start

Find which of a GitHub repository's dependencies are sponsorable via GitHub Sponsors for the repository expressjs/express.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find sponsorship opportunities for GitHub repository dependencies?

You can find sponsorship opportunities by analyzing a GitHub repository's direct and transitive dependencies. The tool retrieves funding metadata from sources like the deps.dev API, FUNDING.yml files, and npm metadata to identify which dependencies are sponsorable.

How does dependency sponsorship verification work with the deps.dev API?

Dependency sponsorship verification works by querying the deps.dev API and checking multiple funding metadata sources like FUNDING.yml and npm metadata. It validates all discovered funding links before reporting to ensure sponsorship opportunities are active and legitimate.

Can I check project health data for open source dependencies before sponsoring them?

Yes, you can check project health data for dependencies using OSSF Scorecard integration. The analysis retrieves maintenance status and security metrics alongside sponsorship data to help you assess the health of dependency projects before contributing.

What is the best way to identify sponsorable open source dependencies across multiple ecosystems?

The best way to identify sponsorable dependencies across ecosystems is using a tool that scans both direct and transitive dependencies via the deps.dev API. It cross-references multiple funding sources like GitHub Sponsors and FUNDING.yml to map the complete sponsorship landscape.

Does this sponsorship finder work with both direct and transitive dependencies?

Yes, the sponsorship finder works with both direct and transitive dependencies. It scans the full dependency tree of a given GitHub repository across multiple ecosystems to ensure no sponsorable dependencies are missed during the analysis.

What sources are used to verify GitHub Sponsors and funding links for npm packages?

Funding links for npm packages are verified using the deps.dev API, FUNDING.yml files, and native npm metadata. The tool cross-references these sources and validates the links before reporting sponsorship opportunities for your open source dependencies.
