Where does the skill store its project memory?

It maintains persistent project state, decision logs, and contributor patterns within a `.github/maintainer/` directory in your repository, ensuring context is preserved across different sessions.

Does the AI agent have the authority to close issues autonomously?

No. The Open Source Maintainer skill operates on a 'human-in-the-loop' model. All public-facing actions, including closing issues, posting comments, or labeling, require explicit human approval.

How does this skill handle external pull requests?

The skill treats PRs as intelligence sources. It extracts the intent and implementation details from the PR and then implements the fix locally to ensure code quality, rather than merging external code directly.

What commands trigger the maintainer workflow?

The skill is triggered by natural language requests such as 'triage', 'review PRs', 'what needs attention', or 'maintain', which initiate the analysis and reporting scripts.

コラボレーションツール

Manages GitHub repositories by triaging issues, analyzing pull requests, and implementing fixes with a focus on long-term project health.

概要

The Open Source Maintainer skill transforms Claude into a proactive repository steward, handling the heavy lifting of triage and backlog management. It extracts intent from issues and PRs, proposes high-leverage actions, and maintains persistent project memory in a dedicated directory. Designed for human-in-the-loop operation, it ensures that while the AI performs the deep analysis and implementation, the human maintainer retains full control over all public-facing decisions and repository changes, effectively reducing maintainer burnout while increasing project velocity.
