Help Wanted

What is Help Wanted?

Help Wanted is a live index of open GitHub issues tagged good first issue and Help Wanted. It helps people browse real contribution opportunities by language, stars, difficulty, and project category, instead of digging through endless org boards. The site shows issue details, AI summaries, and links to active public repositories so contributors can quickly find a task that fits their skill level. It also helps open-source maintainers by surfacing and organizing bugs, pull requests, and community reports. Proof is used to turn repositories into a graph of requirements that humans and agents can use, helping triage issues and pull requests. The service is completely free for open source repositories.
