开源贡献助手 · Open Source Contributor

SkillDev tools

Contribute a clean, professional pull request to someone else's GitHub repository: fork → clone → branch → commit → push → open PR, with smart splitting into one or multiple PRs based on the scope of changes. Trigger when the user says "给这个 repo 提 PR"、"贡献代码"、"fork 然后改再 PR"、 "contribute to this repo", "open a PR to upstream", "submit a PR to <owner>/<repo>".

Turn local changes into a clean, professional pull request against an upstream repo you don't own. Handles the full fork → branch → commit → push → PR pipeline, and splits work into multiple PRs when the changes span unrelated concerns.

When to Use

  • User wants to contribute to an open-source project they don't have write access to
  • User already has local edits and needs them shipped as a PR upstream
  • User asks to "fork this repo and send a PR"
  • User has mixed changes (e.g. docs + feature + refactor) and wants them split properly

Non-Goals

  • Does not write code changes — assumes the user (or a prior step) already has the desired modifications in the working tree or in their head
  • Does not review the project's own PRs (see gh-tidy)
  • Does not mirror to GitLab/Gitea — GitHub only

Workflow (MANDATORY)

Execute steps in order. Do not skip confirmations.

Step 1: Identify the target repo

Determine the upstream owner/repo:

  1. If the user pasted a URL or owner/repo string → use it
  2. Otherwise run git remote -v in the current directory and pick the origin (if origin is already the user's fork, find the upstream via gh repo view --json parent)

Record three facts:

  • UPSTREAM — e.g. ZenMux/zenmux-doc
  • DEFAULT_BRANCH — from gh repo view $UPSTREAM --json defaultBranchRef -q .defaultBranchRef.name
  • USER_LOGIN — from gh api user -q .login

Step 2: Read the contribution rules

Fetch CONTRIBUTING.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md from upstream (if present) and skim for: commit message format, DCO/CLA requirements, branch naming, PR template. Carry these constraints into subsequent steps.

gh api repos/$UPSTREAM/contents/CONTRIBUTING.md -q .content 2>/dev/null | base64 -d

If the repo has .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, use it as the PR body skeleton.

Step 3: Survey the changes

Gather the change set that needs to become PR(s):

git status --porcelain
git diff --stat $DEFAULT_BRANCH...HEAD        # committed
git diff --stat                                # unstaged
git diff --stat --cached                       # staged

Classify files into logical groups. Typical axes:

  • By concern: docs / feature / bugfix / refactor / test / chore
  • By subsystem: unrelated top-level directories usually = separate PRs
  • By dependency: if PR B needs PR A merged first, split and note the dependency

Step 4: Propose a PR plan and confirm

Use AskUserQuestion to present the plan. Options must include at least:

  • Single PR — all changes together. Recommended when changes are cohesive.
  • Split into N PRs — show the proposed titles and file groupings.
  • Abort — something is off, let the user redirect.

Show the plan like:

PR #1 (docs): Update CLAUDE.md to reflect current scripts
  - CLAUDE.md
PR #2 (feat): Add gh-contribute skill bootstrap
  - scripts/new.ts
  - .prompts/contribute.xml

Do not proceed until the user picks an option.

Step 5: Fork (idempotent)

gh repo view $USER_LOGIN/$REPO_NAME >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || gh repo fork $UPSTREAM --clone=false --remote=false

Ensure a fork remote exists in the local clone:

git remote get-url fork 2>/dev/null \
  || git remote add fork git@github.com:$USER_LOGIN/$REPO_NAME.git

If origin already points at the user's fork, skip the fork remote and use origin.

Step 6: Create branches and commits per PR

For each PR in the plan:

  1. Start from a clean, up-to-date base:
    git fetch origin $DEFAULT_BRANCH
    git checkout -b $BRANCH_NAME origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH
    
  2. Apply only the files belonging to this PR (use git checkout <sha> -- <paths> or git stash + selective git checkout from a working branch).
  3. Commit with a conventional message. If upstream uses Conventional Commits, match: <type>(<scope>): <subject>. Otherwise mirror the style of the last 10 commits on $DEFAULT_BRANCH.
  4. Sign off if CONTRIBUTING.md requires DCO: git commit -s ....

Branch naming (when upstream doesn't dictate): <type>/<short-slug>, e.g. docs/update-claude-md, feat/add-contribute-skill.

Step 7: Push to fork

git push -u fork $BRANCH_NAME

If origin is already the fork, use origin instead.

Step 8: Open the PR

gh pr create \
  --repo $UPSTREAM \
  --base $DEFAULT_BRANCH \
  --head $USER_LOGIN:$BRANCH_NAME \
  --title "$TITLE" \
  --body "$BODY"

PR body template (adapt to PR template if present):

## Summary

<1-3 bullets explaining what and why>

## Changes

- <bullet per logical change>

## Test plan

- [ ] <how to verify>

## Related

<!-- Link follow-up PRs if split, e.g. "Depends on #123" or "Part 2 of 3" -->

When opening multiple PRs, cross-link them in each body:

## Related
- PR 1/3: #<url>
- PR 2/3: (this PR)
- PR 3/3: #<url>

Step 9: Report back

Output a compact summary:

Opened 2 PRs against ZenMux/zenmux-doc:
  #201 docs: update CLAUDE.md            → https://github.com/.../pull/201
  #202 feat: add gh-contribute skill      → https://github.com/.../pull/202

Splitting Heuristics

Prefer one PR when:

  • All changes serve a single user-visible outcome
  • Total diff < ~300 lines across ≤ 5 files
  • The changes would be awkward to review in isolation

Prefer multiple PRs when:

  • Docs-only changes sit alongside code changes (docs PR lands fast)
  • Refactor + feature — land the refactor first, feature on top
  • Unrelated subsystems touched (e.g. scripts/ + docs_source/)
  • One change is trivially correct and another needs discussion

When in doubt, ask the user.

What NOT to Do

  • Never force-push to a branch that already has a PR with review comments unless the user explicitly asks
  • Never edit upstream's default branch directly — always branch first
  • Never push to upstream — always to the user's fork
  • Never bypass hooks (--no-verify) or skip signing (--no-gpg-sign) unless CONTRIBUTING.md says to or the user explicitly says so
  • Never batch unrelated concerns into one PR just to "ship faster"
  • Never fabricate a PR body — if you can't describe the change, ask the user

Dependencies

# gh CLI (https://cli.github.com/)
brew install gh      # macOS
gh auth login        # one-time

No Python dependencies. This skill is pure gh + git orchestration.

Runtime context (shared)

运行前读取本 Skill 包的 skill.yaml,由宿主提供 skill-runtime/v1 上下文。字段解析顺序为:当前请求、项目上下文、个人 Preferences、品牌 Profile、通用默认值。

  • 只使用 Manifest 声明的字段;Profile 保存公开品牌事实,Preferences 保存个人工作偏好。
  • required: true 字段缺失时,按 Manifest 的问题配置向用户提出一个聚焦问题;用户明确同意后再保存回答。
  • 报错提供可复制的 context_id、字段路径与来源,诊断内容避开秘密、完整私人路径和原始配置。

通用反馈闭环

用户在 Skill 驱动任务中提出修改意见时,继续当前产物前必须执行:

  1. 先判断意见是 task-specific(仅本次)还是 reusable(可跨任务复用)。
  2. task-specific 只修改当前任务,不改 Skill。
  3. reusable 先确定作用域:领域规则先更新对应 canonical Skill;适用于所有 Skill 的规则先更新共享规范。
  4. 完成规则更新、版本、lint 与分发核验后,再把修改应用到当前任务。
  5. reusable 修改会使此前的“确认”“继续”“发吧”失效;完成当前产物修改和回读后必须停下,等待用户下一步指示,不自动进入发布、提交或其他外部写入。
