How does Token Steward find issues to work on?

It uses a two-path choice: searching your own starred/contributed repositories or fetching a curated, pre-scored feed of approachable issues from well-known projects.

What are the requirements to use Token Steward?

You only need the GitHub (gh) CLI authenticated with your GitHub account and standard git installed on your system.

Does Token Steward automatically submit code to repositories?

No. It acts as a guide, explaining the bug and the proposed fix, helping you test the changes, and only submitting a draft PR or comment after you have reviewed and approved the work.

What is the difference between the skill and the Token Steward CLI?

The skill handles the logic within Claude Code, while the optional CLI allows for local issue discovery and workspace setup, which saves tokens and provides persistent history and budget tracking.

Can I use it to review existing pull requests?

Yes, if an issue already has an open PR, Token Steward switches to 'Review' mode, where it analyzes the diff, runs tests, and helps you provide feedback to the original contributor.
