upstream-recon
by oss-skills
Investigate an open-source project before interacting with it — PRs, issues, or comments. Use BEFORE: filing an issue, submitting a PR, or commenting on an existing thread. Triggers on: "upstream recon", "should I PR this", "will they merge", "check the project", "investigate the repo", "PR strategy", "file an issue", "check existing issues", "should I comment", or any time the user wants to interact with a repo they don't maintain. Also use proactively when about to file an issue or PR — checking existing threads prevents duplicates and wasted effort.
