Try These Prompts

Find Beginner Issues
Find active AI repositories with help wanted issues. List the clearest beginner opportunities with links and brief reasons.
Search One Repository
Search [owner/repository] for open help wanted issues. Rank them by clarity, likely impact, and implementation effort.
Compare Contribution Options
Find contribution opportunities in [topic]. Compare repository activity, issue scope, maintainer responsiveness, and likely mergeability.
Create a Contribution Dossier
Create a dossier for the strongest [topic] opportunity. Include evidence, affected users, reproduction steps, probable cause, fix strategy, risks, and confidence.

Best Practices

  • Confirm that each issue remains open and unassigned before starting work.
  • Read contribution guidelines and recent pull requests before estimating mergeability.
  • Validate reproduction steps and repository activity with current GitHub data.

Avoid

  • Do not treat star count as proof that maintainers will accept a contribution.
  • Do not claim a root cause without inspecting the relevant code and issue evidence.
  • Do not begin implementation before checking issue ownership and project contribution rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does OSS Hunter modify repositories?
No. The included workflow searches GitHub and reports opportunities. It does not clone repositories, edit files, or submit pull requests.
Does the script require GitHub authentication?
Yes. The GitHub CLI must be installed and authenticated for API and issue queries.
Which issue labels does the script search?
The included script searches the help wanted label. The guidance also suggests other labels for manual or agent-assisted research.
How are trending repositories selected?
The script searches repositories with more than 1,000 stars and activity after its configured date, then sorts by stars.
Can it guarantee that a pull request will be accepted?
No. Maintainers control issue assignment, review, and acceptance. Verify project policies and communicate before investing significant effort.
Can I focus on a specific technology?
Yes. State the topic or repository in the prompt, then verify the resulting GitHub queries and issue relevance.
