DevMatch — Your Open Source Project Finder with Runner H

🤖 DevMatch — Your Personal Open Source Project Finder

This is a submission for the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge

💡 What I Built

DevMatch is an AI agent built on Runner H that helps developers—especially beginners—find curated, skill-matched, beginner-friendly GitHub projects and issues to contribute to.

Just share your tech stack, weekly availability, and interests, and DevMatch:

• Understands your skill level and preferences
• Scours open issue hubs like GitHub, UpForGrabs, CodeTriage

• Outputs a clean, markdown list of top open source projects with:

  • 🔗 Links
  • 🛠️ Required skills
  • ⏳ Estimated time commitment
  • ✅ Suggested first task

Whether you're looking to build your portfolio, contribute to dev tools, or just practice React—DevMatch connects you with meaningful issues worth solving.

⚙️ How I Used Runner H

I used Runner H's multi-step prompting workflow to:

A) Interpret the user's developer profile

• Tech stack
• Availability per week
• Interests (frontend, dev tools, accessibility, etc.)

B) Run intelligent filtering logic

• Match user input to beginner-friendly OSS issues
• Prioritize “good first issue” or accessible tasks

C) Generate a structured output

• Each match includes: project link, skill alignment, why it fits, estimated weekly time, and first step
• Formatted cleanly in markdown

🧪 Prompt Snippet

You're a helpful open source mentor and developer success agent.
A developer gives you:

Their tech stack
Availability per week
Interests or goals 
(e.g., learning backend, contributing to accessibility, building dev tools)

Your job is to:

Step 1: Understand the user profile

Identify their strongest languages or frameworks
Classify them as beginner/intermediate/advanced
Note availability to filter project difficulty

Step 2: Search and Match

Search GitHub or curated platforms (like UpForGrabs, CodeTriage, or OpenSauced)
Find 5–7 high-quality beginner-friendly issues or projects
Filter by match to skillset and topic interest

Step 3: Output the Match List
For each match, show:

🔗 Project/Issue name (link to GitHub)
🧩 Why it’s a match (language, relevance, complexity)
🛠️ Skills used
⏳ Estimated weekly time
✅ First Task Suggestion

Present everything as a clean markdown doc with emojis 
and links. Add a final note encouraging first-time contributors.

🛠 Tools Used:

• Prompt crafted entirely inside Runner H
• GitHub search parameters like: label:"good first issue" and language filters
• Optionally extendable to fetch from APIs (UpForGrabs, OpenSauced)

🌍 Use Case & Impact

Real-World Problem Solved:
Many beginner and intermediate devs want to contribute to open source but don’t know where to start.
