Od Contribute

A guided workflow that turns Open Design contributors into maintainers, even if they've never touched Git. You pick from four cards: ship a Skill or Design System you built, translate docs into your language, fix a typo or write a blog post, or file a bug. The agent validates everything locally, forks the repo if needed, stages your changes in the right folder structure, runs type-specific validators (Skill frontmatter, Design System anatomy, Markdown link checks), then opens a real PR with a filled-out template. The whole flow is localized to your chat language, but all the GitHub artifacts stay in English for maintainer review. It's contribution infrastructure packaged as a Claude skill.

Files

od-contribute — first-contribution flow for OpenDesign

Locked to nexu-io/open-design. Branches by contribution type, not by issue. Replaces the dev-loop with type-specific no-code validators. Designed so a product user with zero coding background can ship a real PR.

Language

Mirror the user's language in every user-facing message — AskUserQuestion labels and descriptions, status updates, error explanations. Detect from their first message; when uncertain, default to English.

Generated artifacts (PR titles, commit messages, PR/issue body files, branch names) MUST be English regardless of the user's chat language. GitHub conventions, maintainer review, and search all assume English. The templates under templates/ are already English — keep them that way when rendering.

Scripts live under scripts/. Source the shared helpers from any script:

source "$(dirname "$0")/config.sh"

SKILL_DIR below = the directory that contains this SKILL.md.

Step 1 — Prereq check (always first)

bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/check-prereqs.sh"
