Research direction
Start with the Discourse REST API reference and inspect the existing mail-source contract, read-path output schema, and consuming skills such as contributor-nomination. Define the tools/discourse/ command surface for topic, post, and user operations, including confirmation gates for writes. Done means the listed read operations and gated write operations expose the required discussion context to downstream skills.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Add tools/discourse/ to let the issue-* and pr-management-* skills read context from a Discourse forum where many modern OSS projects do design discussion, RFC posting, contributor introductions, and release announcements.
Suggested capabilities:
topic view <id>— full topic + posts + tags + categorytopic list --category <slug> --since <date>— recent activity in a categorytopic search <query>— full-text searchpost create <topic-id> --body-file <path>— reply (write, gated on confirmation)topic create --category <slug> --title --body— new topic (write, gated on confirmation)user <handle>— profile + recent activity (useful forcontributor-nominationevidence)
Why: Discourse is the discussion platform for Python core (discuss.python.org — PEPs, ideas, help, packaging governance), Rust (users.rust-lang.org + internals.rust-lang.org), Julia, NixOS, Elixir, Meta open-source, Docker, HashiCorp, PostgreSQL (recently), TensorFlow, and several ASF podlings considering it as a mailing-list-replacement on-ramp. For projects that have moved discussion off mail, Discourse is the primary signal surface — without it the skills miss most of the team's actual conversation.
Reference:
- Discourse REST API: https://docs.discourse.org/
- The mail-source-contract abstract operations don't apply directly (forum ≠ mail), but the read-path output schema (thread id + author + body + timestamps) can mirror the mail-source shape for downstream-skill convenience.
contributor-nominationis a particularly clear consumer — forum activity is part of the evidence set, but is not derivable from GitHub alone.
