ghcontriblisted

<Purpose> A contribution harness for open-source GitHub repositories that enforces the rules below as hard phase gates, with per-candidate state persisted under `$HOME/.omc/ghcontrib/`. Judgment gates are explicit — the agent decides per-repo rather than running hardcoded branches. The rules: 1. Reproduction is the merge gate. No repro → candidate dies. 2. Imitate merge history, not CONTRIBUTING.md. Revealed norm > stated norm. 3. Respect load-bearing behavior. Some "bugs" are intentional. 4. Few-shot with the user's own merged PRs. Style calibration. 5. Dedupe before drafting. Open + closed issues + PRs. 6. Wrap attestation; never pierce it. Human clicks CLA/merge. 7. Route security-sensitive findings off the public PR path. 8. Plan the follow-up (CI, reviewer comments, bot signals). 9. Throttle on calendar time. Velocity is a semantic signal. 10. Branch at decision points (Ouroboros). Judgment > pre-declared rules. 11. Demonstrate system understanding. Plausible code is not a credibility signal. 12. Make design decisions reviewable, not just the diff. </Purpose> <Credibility_Principle> > "Talk and code is cheap. Show me you really care." > — Roger Wang, MLSys 2026 ("Rethinking Open Source Contribution in the Age of AI Agents") AI coding agents changed the contributor pipeline. Weekly PR volume to major AI infrastructure repos (vLLM, etc.) spiked visibly around agent releases in 2025–2026. More people can generate plausible code and open pull requests quickly. That shifts
