OSS Autopilot — Development skill for Claude Code
Open source contribution manager — tracks PRs across repos, discovers issues, diagnoses CI failures, drafts maintainer responses.
How to install OSS Autopilot
This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no
exact command to give. Open costajohnt/oss-autopilot and copy the folder into
~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.
What OSS Autopilot does
OSS Autopilot monitors all your open PRs across GitHub, alerts you when maintainers leave feedback, helps you draft responses, diagnoses CI failures, and finds new issues matched to your contribution history. It's the workflow engine behind the stats above.
