Oscar, an open-source contributor agent architecture
ject aiming to improve open-source software development by creating automated help, or “agents,” for open-source maintenance. We believe there are many opportunities to reduce the amount of toil involved with maintaining open-source projects both large and small.
Our prototype agent implements this functionality and replies to new issues in the Go repository with a list of at most ten highly related links that add context to the report. A different approach would be to rely more heavily on LLMs, letting them edit code, issues, and so on entirely based on natural language prompts with no deterministic tools. Running on hosted platforms with their own URLs (as opposed to a local workstation) will enable subscribing to GitHub webhooks, so that Gaby can respond even more quickly to issues and also carry on conversations.
