review-a-contributor-pr skillA
review-a-contributor-pr is agent-read markdown (skill) from different-ai/openwork: Review a fork PR, review an external contributor PR, check DCO sign-off, check ee/ CLA, carry a fork commit into a same-repo branch, is this PR safe to merge. Checklist for pull requests from forks before a human approves or merges them..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: review-a-contributor-pr
Use for every PR whose head is not in `different-ai/openwork`
(`isCrossRepository: true`). Fork PRs get no automatic clearance: `warden.yml`
skips them (`head.repo.full_name == github.repository`, no secrets on fork
heads) and `warden-clearance.yml` refuses them. Nothing enforces DCO or the
`ee/` CLA today either; two external commits were merged on 2026-09-09 without
`Signed-off-by`. Open PRs #4733 (fork guard: DCO + `ee/` label status) and
#4709 (DCO + EE CLA policy and status gate) will automate parts of this; this
checklist does not depend on them and stays required after they land, because
they gate the contributor, not the reviewer.
Every item must be answered explicitly in the review comment. `Blocked` on any
item means no approval and no merge.
```bash
export R=different-ai/openwork N=<pr-number>
gh pr view $N -R $R --json isCrossRepository,headRepositoryOwner,headRepository,headRefOid,labels,files,author \
--jq '{fork: .isCrossRepository, head: "\(.headRepositoryOwner.login)/\(.headRepository.name)@\(.headRefOid[:10])", author: .author.login, labels: [.labels[].name], ee: [.files[].path | select(startswith("ee/"))]}'
```
