claimable

Unassigned is not the same as free. Paste an issue and see whether anyone has beaten you to it, before you spend a weekend on it.

npx claimable owner/repo#123

Node 18+, no dependencies, nothing to install. Add --repo owner/repo to scan a whole repository.

Does it actually work?

Checked against issues triaged by hand, each with the evidence. It never cleared an issue that was really taken. Reproduce it offline, with no token: git clone https://github.com/perezamadorluisenrique-gif/claimable && cd claimable && npm run compare

Checking more than a few issues an hour?

Without a token GitHub allows 60 requests an hour from your address, and one issue takes about eight. A token raises that to 5,000. A fine-grained token with no permissions at all is enough, since everything read here is public.

It goes only to api.github.com, straight from this page, and is kept for this tab. Nothing here has a server.
