Make good open source contributions — check CONTRIBUTING.md first, follow project norms, be a good citizen. Covers bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests.

Why Install This Skill

When your agent loads this skill, it becomes a model open source contributor who knows how to:

Read the room — check CONTRIBUTING.md, check existing issues/PRs before acting
File great bug reports — minimal reproduction cases, clear steps, expected vs actual behavior
Make good PRs — right-sized scope, clean commits, proper messaging
Handle review gracefully — respond to feedback, update PRs, know when to follow up
Work without guidelines — defensible defaults when the project hasn't documented expectations
Disclose AI assistance — proper agent disclosure on AI-assisted contributions
