no_human
good first issue
2
From ticket to reviewed pull request. no_human proves the code it wrote is correct. You drop a ticket on the board (or point it at Jira or Linear) and it plans, writes the code, and opens a pull request. Before that PR reaches you, the work is checked by a second model that never saw the coder's session and is told to assume the job is not done. You get a pass/fail checklist that cites files and lines, not a score. If the agent deleted or weakened a test, a tamper guard stops the attempt. For bug fixes, the tests offered as proof have to fail on the old code and pass on the new. It's Free and open-source, on your machine.

PhilanthroPy
good first issue

PhilanthroPy is a scikit-learn native toolkit for nonprofit and academic-medical-center fundraising analytics. It provides pipeline-safe, leakage-safe estimators and transformers for donor propensity, lapse prediction, planned-giving intent, wealth-screening imputation, and walk-forward fiscal-year cross-validation. Every estimator passes scikit-learn's check_estimator battery, and the library sends no data anywhere.

We're looking for projects who can take the time out to
help mentor developers as they get started with
open source.
What sort of tasks are a good fit?
Tasks should take no longer than a few nights' worth of work
Tasks should stand alone - avoid core functionality on which other tasks depend
Tasks should be well described with pointers to help the implementer
We suggest the label up-for-grabs
but using a different name is also acceptable.
If this sounds like you, getting involved is simple:
Label bugs and feature requests that would be a good place to startGrab the URL to this list of tasks so that others can get to it easily
