skills/contributor-guide/SKILL.md
Write a CONTRIBUTING guide that helps people contribute to an open-source project without friction. Use when asked to write a CONTRIBUTING.md, set up contribution guidelines, or make a repo welcoming to contributors. Produces a clear guide: how to set up, the contribution workflow, standards, PR expectations, and how to get help — lowering the barrier to a first PR.

Most would-be contributors give up at setup friction or unclear expectations. A good CONTRIBUTING.md removes
the guesswork: how to get the project running, how to propose a change, what a mergeable PR looks like, and
where to ask. This skill writes that guide — welcoming, specific, and aimed at getting someone to a successful
first PR.
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
A CONTRIBUTING.md:
A warm one-liner: contributions are welcome, here's how to make it smooth.
Ways to contribute — issues, docs, code, triage — not everyone writes code.
Development setup
# clone, install, run, test — the exact commands
…so a contributor can get the project running and tests passing locally.
Finding something to work on — point to good first issue / help wanted; ask people to comment before starting larger work.
Making a change (the workflow)
Standards — formatting/linting, test expectations, commit/PR conventions, the Code of Conduct link.
What happens next — who reviews, rough turnaround, how feedback works.
Getting help — where to ask (Discussions, chat, issue) — make it explicitly OK to ask.
Open-source contribution best practices (clear setup, defined workflow, good-first-issues, welcoming tone, CoC).
business
Analyze why deals are won and lost and turn it into an action plan. Use when asked to run a win/loss analysis, review closed-won and closed-lost deals, understand why the team is losing to a competitor, or summarize sales feedback into patterns. Produces a structured win/loss report with themes, win/loss rates by segment and competitor, representative quotes, and prioritized actions for product, marketing, and sales.
development
Route a fuzzy request to the right skill in this library. Use when the user is unsure which skill fits, asks 'which skill should I use for X', describes a task without naming a skill, or when a request could plausibly match several skills. Produces a best-fit recommendation with the inputs to gather, a runner-up with the tie-breaker, and a workflow recipe when the job spans multiple skills.
testing
Triage a vulnerability or scanner finding — assess real severity, exploitability, and how urgently to fix. Use when asked to triage a CVE, prioritize scanner/pentest findings, assess a vuln's risk, or decide what to patch first. Produces a triage verdict: CVSS-informed severity adjusted for your context, exploitability, real risk, a fix/mitigation, and an SLA — so you fix what matters, not just what's red.
development
Stand up a Voice of Customer (VoC) program that turns feedback into action. Use when asked to build a VoC program, design a customer feedback loop, consolidate feedback sources, or set up a closed-loop feedback process. Produces a VoC program design — objectives, feedback sources and channels, a taxonomy, collection and analysis cadence, closed-loop routing, ownership, and success metrics.
