ContribOS
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.adityatiwari101104/contribos -->
Get trusted. Get merged. Come back. ContribOS helps new open-source contributors earn trust. It finds where you're welcome, shows how this repo wants the change done, checks that you truly understand your change, coaches you through review, and turns merged PRs into a record the next maintainer can verify.
In 2026, writing code is not the hard part of contributing. AI made PRs cheap, maintainers answered with PR caps, vouch lists and AI policies, and newcomer merge rates fell. ContribOS makes your PR worth a maintainer's time.
ContribOS never opens PRs, posts comments or claims issues for you, and it never writes your explanation. It points, and you decide.
See it work

## Changelog
Changes usually need a changelog or news entry.
- `.github/pull_request_template.md:23`: - Add an entry in CHANGES.rst summarizing the change and linking to the issue.
## Tests in practice
50% of recent code PRs also changed tests.
- `git history`: 19 of 38 recent code-changing PRs
## Outside PRs
2 of the last 49 closed PRs from non-members landed.Every claim points at a file and line (or git history), so you can check it yourself. ContribOS points, you decide.
