Contributing to Auto.dev Agent Skill
March 17, 2026 · View on GitHub
Thanks for your interest in contributing! This skill helps developers across 42+ AI coding agents work with Auto.dev APIs. Your contributions make it better for everyone.
How to Contribute
Reporting Issues
- API changes — If an Auto.dev endpoint changed its response format, parameters, or pricing, open an issue
- Skill bugs — If the skill gives incorrect guidance or generates broken code, report it
- Feature requests — Want a new workflow pattern, framework integration, or business workflow? Request it
Submitting Changes
- Fork the repo and create a branch from
main - Make your changes — edit the relevant
.mdfiles - Verify accuracy — test any API calls you document against the live API
- Keep it concise — the SKILL.md entry point should stay under 500 words
- Submit a PR with a clear description of what changed and why
What to Contribute
High-value contributions:
- New chaining patterns or business workflows
- Framework integrations (Vue, Svelte, Django, Rails, etc.)
- Error recovery entries for edge cases you've encountered
- Model name normalizations you've discovered
- Pricing updates when Auto.dev changes their plans
File guide:
| If you want to... | Edit this file |
|---|---|
| Fix API parameters or response fields | v2-listings-api.md, v2-vin-apis.md, v2-plate-api.md, v1-apis.md |
| Add a new multi-endpoint workflow | chaining-patterns.md |
| Add a framework integration pattern | code-patterns.md |
| Add a business use case | business-workflows.md |
| Add an integration recipe | integration-recipes.md |
| Fix a model name normalization | error-recovery.md |
| Update pricing | pricing.md |
| Add an app template | app-scaffolding.md |
Style Guidelines
- Agent-agnostic language — say "the agent" not "Claude" or "Cursor"
- Real API responses — verify against live endpoints, don't guess field names
- Plan-aware — note which plan tier an endpoint requires
- Cost-aware — include per-call costs when documenting batch operations
- Concise — reference files should be scannable, not prose-heavy
Testing Your Changes
Install the skill locally and test with your preferred agent:
npx skills add ./path-to-your-fork
Then try natural language queries that exercise the files you changed.
