Make contribution expectations visible

Effort: medium

A willing contributor should not have to guess about scope, review expectations, or a safe starting point.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A public contribution guide explains the local baseline, work selection, validation, and review boundaries that match this project.
  • Guardrail: Replace every placeholder with project facts; do not promise a merge or response time.

Methodology & Honest Limitations

  • This is a deterministic metadata and community readiness audit, not a security assessment, legal certification, code-quality audit, or endorsement.
  • Checks are derived from public GitHub repository signals, conventional file paths, and public issue labels.
  • A missing signal reflects observed repository structure and may be intentional for the project's scope.

WelcomeScore does not rank repositories for popularity, generate artificial star activity, or offer legal or security certifications.
