§ 02The chapters

Four small acts that keep
a project from drowning.

The boring half of maintainership — triage, repetition, the third time you've explained the same flag — happens by itself, in the margins, while you keep writing the parts only you can write.

IVector recall

Reads the room

Every new issue is matched against the discussions, replies, and closed tickets you've written before — so the answer is grounded, not guessed.

IIAuthor·assisted

Drafts in your hand

A reply lands as a draft signed with your voice and your prior choices. Approve, edit, or send it straight back. Always your call.

IIILiving manual

Mends the docs

When an issue closes, Responder reads the resolution and proposes a diff against the page that should have answered it.

IVNative to GitHub

Lives where you do

Webhooks, GitHub Apps, repository indexing. No new dashboard for your contributors — only the calmer issue tracker they already use.

§ 04 · A small invitation

Hand the dull part over.
Keep the writing.

Sign in with GitHub. Pick a repository. Watch the next ten issues answer themselves — softly, in your voice, with you in the loop.
