This skill should be used when responding to maintainer review feedback, writing or reviewing PR descriptions, following up on dormant PRs, validating PR quality before submission, or deciding how to communicate with maintainers. Sibling to oss-contribution and contribution-ethics.
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.

Even critical feedback should be received gracefully. ### Response Approach - Address every point they raise - Keep it short. One or two sentences is usually enough. - Push updates promptly after discussion - Mark conversations as resolved after addressing - If you feel resistance to a request, investigate deeper — the maintainer likely knows something you don't. If you still think there's an issue after investigating, raise it to the human contributor — never override the maintainer ### Assumptions and Verification When a maintainer requests changes, these rules govern how you respond: 1. **Maintainer is right by default.** If a maintainer says "do X," your starting assumption is that X is correct and appropriate for their codebase. Do not second-guess their judgment about their own project. …

How to install
mdr add costajohnt/oss-autopilot/PR Etiquette@sha256:7056755ea6f6f794The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
