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.
