Code of Conduct & Governance

All levels

How AILmanac is run — kept light so a small team plus volunteers can sustain it.

Independence & trademarks​

AILmanac is an independent community resource. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. "Claude" and "Anthropic" are trademarks of Anthropic, used nominatively. The official docs are the source of truth.

Licensing (dual)​

So both the words and the code are reusable:

  • Prose / documentation → CC BY 4.0 (reuse with attribution).
  • Code, examples, config → MIT.

See LICENSE-CONTENT, LICENSE-CODE, and NOTICE in the repo. By contributing, you agree to license your prose under CC BY 4.0 and code under MIT.

Code of Conduct​

We follow the Contributor Covenant (see CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). Be kind, be constructive, assume good faith. Unacceptable behavior can be reported privately to the maintainers.

Contribution model​

  • DCO sign-off, not a CLA — git commit -s certifies you can submit the work. Low barrier, clear provenance.
  • Pull requests for everything; the build gate and a maintainer review keep quality up.
  • CODEOWNERS routes areas to reviewers as the project grows.

Labels & triage​

Labels-as-code (.github/labels.yml) keep the backlog legible:

  • Type: content, code, i18n, automation
  • Area: core-claude, ring-general, infra
  • Workflow: good first issue, help wanted, upstream-change, needs-verification, link-rot, stale

New contributors: look for good first issue — adding a glossary term, filling a planned page, or fixing a stale fact are perfect starts.

Decisions & discussion​

  • GitHub Discussions for questions and proposals; Issues for actionable work.
  • Contributors are recognized in the repo.
