Make good open source contributions — check CONTRIBUTING.md first, follow project norms, be a good citizen. Covers bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests with a defensible default posture when the project hasn't documented expectations. Do not use this skill for unrelated requests; route to the nearest named specialist.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Open Source Contributions ## The Golden Rule **Make it easy for maintainers to absorb your contribution.** Maintainers are often under-resourced volunteers or small teams. Every friction point you remove — unclear reproduction steps, missing tests, bad commit messages, force-pushed history — is time they don't have to spend figuring out what you did and why. The whole point is to *help* them, not create more work. ## When to Use This Skill - Filing a bug report or feature request on a public repository - Preparing a pull request for any open source project - Working on a project without documented contributing guidelines (default posture) - Reviewing your own PR before submission - Setting up open source conventions for your own project **Load the relevant phase reference for detailed instructions.** --- ## Quick Phase Overview | Phase | What It Covers | Reference | |-------|----------------|-----------| | **0a — Maintainer Conventions** | README discipline, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, issue/PR templates, commit conventions, DCO, release workflow hygiene | `references/phase-0a-maintainer-conventions.md` | …

How to install
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/opensource-contributions@sha256:16a8f3f184a53bf4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
