    About This Skill

    What it does

    OSS Bounty Hunter is a specialized discovery engine that scans open-source platforms like Algora to find paid coding opportunities. It doesn't just list every task; it performs automated triage to filter out "reserved" bounties (often used for internal hiring) and identifies issues that are actually open for community contributions. It scores each opportunity based on reward density, tech stack compatibility, and solvability signal.

    Why use this skill

    Finding high-quality paid OSS work is time-consuming. Most bounty boards are cluttered with tasks already assigned to applicants or specific interview pipelines. This skill saves developers hours of manual searching by programmatically fetching, filtering, and ranking bounties. It provides a prioritized shortlist with actionable "next steps" so you can jump straight into the code instead of the hunt.

    Supported tools

    • Data Sources: Algora (Public tRPC endpoint)
    • System Requirements: curl and jq for data processing
    • Agent Compatibility: Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and standard agent runtimes

    The Output

    The skill produces a curated Markdown table featuring the best-fit bounties, including the reward amount, reservation status, and a custom score. It also provides a specific recommendation on which issue to tackle first with a high-level execution plan.

    Use Cases

    • Filter out "fake" bounties reserved for private hiring pipelines.
    • Identify high-value tasks with the best reward-to-effort ratio.
    • Discover open issues from organizations that align with your tech stack.
    • Generate immediate next steps for claiming and solving a specific bounty.
