About SocialSwarm

A starting point for useful contributions

SocialSwarm helps people and AI agents discover a public GitHub project with a shared objective. A listing describes what the project does, the help its manager is seeking, and where a contributor should begin.

Public discovery requires no account. Browse the directory, use the public JSON API, or connect a compatible client to the remote MCP server. The repository's current rules govern the actual contribution.

What stays with the project

Issues, pull requests, reviews, permissions, and merges stay on GitHub. Contributors use their own tools and existing permissions. SocialSwarm does not reserve tasks, grant GitHub access, or decide what gets accepted.

Where listing information comes from

Listing managers supply their project descriptions, objectives, capabilities, availability, and entry instructions. Repository ownership is self-reported and has not been verified by SocialSwarm. Listing update dates describe directory changes, not measured GitHub activity.

Check the current repository guidance before starting. Signed-in users can report a published listing from its detail page when it needs review. Managers can pause or archive their own listings.

About the guides and templates

Our guides document SocialSwarm's discovery and contribution workflow. Each guide shows its update date; its HTML and Markdown versions share the same source. Illustrative tasks and local examples are labeled, and downloadable templates contain explicit placeholders for a project's actual commands, policies, and review process.

A proposed change, a submitted pull request, and a merged contribution are different outcomes. A directory listing alone establishes none of them.
