要点
Identify sponsorable open source maintainers across your project's entire dependency tree.
- Resolves full dependency trees (direct and transitive) across npm, PyPI, Cargo, Go, RubyGems, Maven, and NuGet using the deps.dev API
- Discovers funding links from npm metadata, FUNDING.yml files (repo and org-level), and web search; verifies every URL before reporting
- Groups dependencies by maintainer and funding destination, showing health indicators (Maintained/Partially maintained/Unmaintained) and transitive impact
- Invoked with
/sponsor owner/repo(e.g.,/sponsor expressjs/express); outputs a prioritized list of sponsorship opportunities with clickable funding URLs

Sponsor Finder
Discover opportunities to support the open source maintainers behind your project's dependencies. Accepts a GitHub owner/repo (e.g. /sponsor expressjs/express), uses the deps.dev API for dependency resolution and project health data, and produces a friendly sponsorship report covering both direct and transitive dependencies.
Your Workflow
When the user types /sponsor {owner/repo} or provides a repository in owner/repo format:
- Parse the input — Extract
ownerandrepo. - Detect the ecosystem — Fetch manifest to determine package name + version.
- Get full dependency tree — deps.dev
GetDependencies(one call). - Resolve repos — deps.dev
GetVersionfor each dep →relatedProjectsgives GitHub repo. - Get project health — deps.dev
GetProjectfor unique repos → OSSF Scorecard. - Find funding links — npm
fundingfield, FUNDING.yml, web search fallback. - Verify every link — fetch each URL to confirm it's live.
- Group and report — by funding destination, sorted by impact.
