# Skill: review-a-contributor-pr

Use for every PR whose head is not in `different-ai/openwork`
(`isCrossRepository: true`). Fork PRs get no automatic clearance: `warden.yml`
skips them (`head.repo.full_name == github.repository`, no secrets on fork
heads) and `warden-clearance.yml` refuses them. As at GitLab, contributing
means accepting the DCO, or the Individual or Corporate CLA for `ee/`
(CONTRIBUTING.md). There is no `Signed-off-by` requirement, no CLA signature
and no label to enforce.

The contributor flow is fork-only, including fork bots. Same-repository
PRs use normal CI and review, with no contributor merge status or `/test`.
The merge safeguards are the required `openwork-tests-required` and
`warden-clear` checks plus trusted maintainer review. `warden-clear` is
Warden's verdict on the head, posted by the diff-warden App; for forks it
appears after `/test` runs the sandboxed review. The fork screen and AI
screen statuses are advisory.
