OSS Contribution Starter Kit

A compact starter kit for preparing a small open-source contribution.

This repo is intentionally process-focused. It helps a contributor gather context, verify scope, and write a maintainer-friendly pull request.

Contents

• docs/preflight.md: checks before starting work.
• docs/review-response.md: concise review response guidance.
• templates/pr.md: pull request body.
• templates/issue-notes.md: notes format for issue research.
• scripts/check-worktree.sh: local guardrail for staged files and suspicious names.

Usage

bash scripts/check-worktree.sh

Maintainer-Friendly Notes

• Avoid duplicate pull requests.
• Keep verification visible.
• Ask for clarification before broad implementation work.
• Keep private account, payment, and credential details out of public project threads.
