IssueScout

Find OSS issues that don't currently appear to have an open PR referencing them.

Built for contributors who want to find available work across curated open-source projects—without manually checking every issue and PR thread.

What this tool does

• Surface likely unclaimed issues — Shows open issues that do not appear to have an active PR referencing them.
• Aggregate across repos — One place to browse issues from multiple curated OSS repositories.
• Filter by ecosystem and repo — Narrow results to the project you care about.

Ecosystems

How it works

The tool scans curated repositories, checks whether open pull requests reference specific issues, and surfaces issues that do not appear to be claimed yet. Results are refreshed periodically and cached to keep browsing fast.
