Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/steipete/agent-scripts --skill github-author-context
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads github-author-context automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

GitHub Author Context

Build a compact maintainer-facing profile for a PR author or GitHub user. Use this by default during PR review unless the author is Peter (steipete, Peter Steinberger, or an obvious Peter-owned bot/account).

Inputs

Prefer a GitHub login. From a PR:

gh pr view <n> --json author,url,headRepository,baseRepository -q '{author:.author.login,url:.url,repo:.baseRepository.nameWithOwner}'

Skip the profile pass for steipete unless the user explicitly asks.

Source Order

  1. OpenClaw contributor notes:
~/Projects/maintainers/scripts/clawtributors find github <login>

If a contributor file matches in ~/Projects/maintainers/contributors/people, read only:

  • Identity
  • Signals
  • Context
  • Evidence
  • Notes

Fallback only when the new contributor file is missing and old maintainer context might help:

rg -n -i "<login>|<name>|<discord>" ~/Projects/openclaw-maintainers/people ~/Projects/openclaw-maintainers/data

If an old person file matches, read only the relevant sections:

  • Verdict
  • Identity
  • Company Affiliation
  • Metrics
  • Discord Communication
  • Evidence
  • Risks / Concerns / Recommendation when present
  1. Live GitHub public profile:
gh api "users/<login>" --jq '{login,name,company,location,bio,blog,twitter_username,created_at,followers,following,public_repos}'
  1. Target-repo activity:
gh search prs --repo <owner/repo> --author <login> --state merged --limit 20 --json number,title,mergedAt,url
gh search prs --repo <owner/repo> --author <login> --state open --limit 20 --json number,title,updatedAt,url
gh search issues --repo <owner/repo> --author <login> --state open --limit 20 --json number,title,updatedAt,url
gh api "repos/<owner>/<repo>/collaborators/<login>/permission" --jq '{permission,user:.user.login}' 2>/dev/null || true

For OpenClaw, prefer the new openclaw/maintainers contributor file over recomputing activity unless freshness clearly matters.

  1. Local git evidence when useful:
git log --all --author="<login>" --since="90 days ago" --oneline --decorate --no-merges | head -40
git shortlog -sne --all | rg -i "<login>|<name>|<email>"

Output

Keep it short. Add this block near the top of a PR review:

Author context: @login
- Who: <name/company/location/role, confidence>
- Activity: <merged/open PRs, issues, reviews/commits if known>
- OpenClaw signal: <maintainer/candidate/drive-by/vendor/security/unknown>
- Risk: <review-load, broad PRs, low history, company-governance, none obvious>

Do not quote private phone/email/contact details unless Peter asks. Separate employer from company-directed OpenClaw work; almost everyone has an employer.

Contributor Notes

After a merge/rejection/close/review, add a note only if it creates future review value: first good merge, unusually strong work, repeated quality problems, slop, no-repro churn, exceptional responsiveness, lack of follow-through, or identity confirmation.

Use the maintainer repo helper so Markdown stays consistent:

~/Projects/maintainers/scripts/clawtributors note github <login> --kind merged --pr <n> --summary "Focused bug fix. Tests credible. Smooth review."
~/Projects/maintainers/scripts/clawtributors note github <login> --kind rejected --pr <n> --summary "Broad generated refactor; no reproducible bug; asked to split."
~/Projects/maintainers/scripts/clawtributors link github <login> discord <id> --username <discord> --confidence high --evidence "Self-linked authored PRs in #clawtributors."

Keep notes terse, factual, dated, and linked. Do not record ordinary noise.
