gh-treasure-huntHunts the open issue and PR queue for the fastest safe wins, clean community PRs, already-implemented issues and small fixes, ranked by value against risk with credit attached.
This skill ranks opportunities from highest to lowest value-over-risk: a clean, focused, direct-merge community PR, especially a new contributor's first one; an issue the landing branch already implements, which becomes a close-with-evidence action with credit; a genuinely small quick fix like a typo or missing test; and larger design work, which is deferred with a note rather than chased here. It never acts on a title or label alone and never merges, closes or tags without maintainer approval.
The workflow pulls the full open PR and issue queues in one pass, reading everything before deciding anything, then shortlists PRs that look clean and small by merge state, low file and line counts, non-draft status, and the absence of sensitive trust-boundary surfaces such as auth, sandboxing, install or publish code, flagging any new contributor's PR for credit along the way. Each shortlisted PR is then confirmed from its files, commits, reviews, comments and checks rather than its title.
Mergeability is tested against the real, often local-only, release branch, since the GitHub mergeable flag is computed against main and can mislead; the PR's head is fetched and merged against that branch with git merge-tree to look for a genuinely clean result. Already-implemented issues are found by grepping the landing branch for the behavior the issue describes and confirming the exact lines before drafting a close-with-evidence note that credits the reporter and waits for approval.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ea319a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitghcargoFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
High-Value PR and Issue Hunt loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 458 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

jamiepine/voicebox
Sorts a backlog of open pull requests into must-merge, candidate, superseded and deferred, writes a triage doc and works the merge loop before a release.
prisma/orm
Runs the triage step of the review-framework loop: reads fetched PR review state, builds `review-actions.json`, validates it and renders `review-actions.md`.
rtk-ai/rtk
Audits a repository's open pull requests, deep-reviews chosen ones and drafts review comments that are only posted after you approve them.
code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent
Fans out one background subagent per open GitHub issue or pull request to write an evidence-backed report, never commenting, closing or merging anything.
code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent
Debugs a concrete LazyCodex or upstream Codex defect, builds the smallest verified fix in a fresh temporary workspace, and routes the deliverable to the right repository and format.
trailofbits/skills
Triages open GitHub issues and pull requests with the gh CLI, optionally merging ready PRs, closing resolved issues with evidence and assigning local priority and size estimates.
codewhale-hq/Codewhale
Proves a Codewhale change in the real product: a stamped release build, an atomic local install, fresh-shell verification and manual QA that automated gates cannot cover.
codewhale-hq/Codewhale
Writes a paste-ready handoff for the next agent session, opening with a state-check command block and separating done, suspected and blocked work.
codewhale-hq/Codewhale
Decides how verified work should reach main, directly, in a worktree or on an integration branch, while keeping contributor credit and respecting merge gates.
codewhale-hq/Codewhale
Guides when and how to split multi-step coding, research or verification work into focused sub-agent runs while the parent keeps integration and final checks.
codewhale-hq/Codewhale
Triages and manages Codewhale fleet runs and workers with typed commands, classifying failures and choosing a safe restart, resume or escalation.
codewhale-hq/Codewhale
Moves a list of GitHub issues into a milestone or assigns them to owners with the gh CLI, checking each one before and after the change.

Hunts the open issue and PR queue for the fastest safe wins, clean community PRs, already-implemented issues and small fixes, ranked by value against risk with credit attached. This skill ranks opportunities from highest to lowest value-over-risk: a clean, focused, direct-merge community PR, especially a new contributor's first one; an issue the landing branch already implements, which becomes a close-with-evidence action with credit; a genuinely small quick fix like a typo or missing test; and larger design work, which is deferred with a note rather than chased here. It never acts on a title or label alone and never merges, closes or tags without maintainer approval.
High-Value PR and Issue Hunt fits situations like: finding the fastest safe wins in a crowded issue and PR queue before a release; prioritizing which community PRs to land first for the most contributor value; checking whether an open issue is already implemented on the release branch; flagging a new contributor's first PR for credit.
Run `npx skills add codewhale-hq/Codewhale --skill gh-treasure-hunt -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (docs/skills/gh-treasure-hunt in codewhale-hq/Codewhale) into .claude/skills/gh-treasure-hunt in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add codewhale-hq/Codewhale --skill gh-treasure-hunt -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (docs/skills/gh-treasure-hunt in codewhale-hq/Codewhale) into .agents/skills/gh-treasure-hunt in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add codewhale-hq/Codewhale --skill gh-treasure-hunt -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/gh-treasure-hunt, .gemini/skills/gh-treasure-hunt, .github/skills/gh-treasure-hunt and .opencode/skills/gh-treasure-hunt in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, High-Value PR and Issue Hunt needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git, gh and cargo). Our summary lists: The GitHub CLI (gh); A local checkout with the release branch available.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
High-Value PR and Issue Hunt is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
