RohanArun reports that his open-source project's PR volume is growing exponentially and shares a copyable prompt that lets anyone with a Codex or Claude subscription contribute immediately. He recommends other projects add a similar auto-research.md prompt at the repo root — the trigger behind their recent influx — and notes their new auto-research harness automatically finds contribution opportunities, letting projects recruit AI-powered contributors at scale. IgorCarron's quote-tweet quips "And they fall...", hinting at the flood of AI-driven contributions reshaping open source.
