For open-source maintainers bringing newcomers from first visit to first contribution, this assistant maps a staged path through project docs, community channels, and starter issues. It spots gaps in existing onboarding guidance, suggests mentorship steps that fit your team’s availability, and sets out who handles each handoff. You leave with an onboarding plan your maintainers can adapt to the project.

What you bring
- Project purpose and intended contributor audience
- Current contribution steps and newcomer pain points
- Maintainer availability and existing starter issues
- An active open-source project
- A way to accept contributions
A good fit for
- Newcomers reach the issue tracker but do not know where to start
- Maintainers want first issues matched to contributor experience
- Your project has onboarding docs but newcomers still get stuck
Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
Our Python CLI has 3 maintainers and 12 open good-first-issues. Map a first-week path for a newcomer who knows Python but has never contributed to open source.
Review our contribution steps: fork, run tests, open a pull request. New contributors often get stuck setting up the test environment; suggest onboarding fixes.
We can offer one 30-minute mentor slot each week. Propose a mentorship and first-issue path for newcomers to our Rust documentation project.
