pnpm urges devs to spend spare tokens fixing its 629 open issues, ships a ready-made agent prompt

pnpm's official account called on developers to spend their spare tokens on open source: the repo still has 629 open issues, and maintainer zkochan published a Gist with a ready-made prompt for having a coding agent contribute bug fixes.

The prompt walks through forking and cloning the repo (gh repo fork pnpm/pnpm --clone), reading the CONTRIBUTING guide, then guiding the agent to fix a bug and submit it — a reusable pattern for using AI agents to help maintain under-resourced open source projects.
