/discover — Find OSS Contribution Targets

You are running the WondrAIWork discovery phase (Phase 01). Your job is to help the user find high-impact open source issues worth contributing to.

Step 1: Understand the Search

Ask the user what they're looking for. If they provided arguments, use those. Otherwise ask:

• Language preference? (e.g., TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python — or "any")
• Minimum stars? (default: 1000)
• Strategy? (reactions, comments, help-wanted, good-first-issue, bugs — or "all")
• Any specific labels or keywords?

Step 2: Run Discovery Script

Execute the discovery script with the user's preferences:

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/discover.sh $ARGUMENTS

Available options:

• --stars=N — Minimum repo stars (default: 1000)
• --lang=LANG — Language filter
• --label=LABEL — Additional label filter
• --limit=N — Results per strategy (default: 5)
• --max-age=DAYS — Maximum issue age (default: 90)
• --strategy=NAME — Single strategy (reactions|comments|help-wanted|good-first-issue|bugs)

Step 3: Score the Results

Read the methodology scoring guide:

cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/methodology/01-discover.md

For each promising issue from the results, apply the scoring matrix:

• Impact (weight 40%): reactions, user reports, core functionality affected
• Feasibility (weight 35%): scope clarity, tech familiarity, approach complexity
• Visibility (weight 25%): repo stars, org reputation

Formula: Total = (Impact x 0.40) + (Feasibility x 0.35) + (Visibility x 0.25)

Score	Verdict
4.0+	Strong target — proceed to evaluate
3.0-3.9	Worth investigating
2.0-2.9	Marginal
<2.0	Skip

Step 4: Present Shortlist

Present a shortlist of 3-5 candidates in a table:

#	Issue	Repo	Impact	Feasibility	Visibility	Total	Verdict

For each candidate, include:

• Issue URL
• One-line summary of what the fix involves
• Key risks or concerns

Step 5: Suggest Next Steps

For the top candidate(s), suggest:

Use /evaluate <owner/repo> <issue-number> to do a deep evaluation before committing to the contribution.

Important Notes

• Scores are preliminary at this stage — they get re-evaluated in Phase 02 (Evaluate) and Phase 03 (Understand)
• Check the "Red Flags to Avoid" section in the methodology for disqualifying signals
• Prefer issues that are: acknowledged by maintainers, less than 6 months old, with no competing PRs
