+# Organization Guidelines
+
+This repository contains the official policies, standards, and governance rules for all repositories under this organization.
+
+All members and collaborators are required to read and comply with these guidelines before contributing to any project.
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Mandatory Compliance
+
+These guidelines apply to:
+
+- All public repositories
+- All private repositories
+- All members and collaborators
+- All contributions (code, documentation, CI, automation, etc.)
+
+Failure to follow these standards may result in:
+
+- Pull request rejection
+- Revoked repository access
+- Removal from the organization
+
+---
+
+## 🔁 Contribution Workflow (Required)
+
+All development work **must follow this workflow**:
+
+1. **Fork the repository** before starting any work.
+2. Create a feature or fix branch in your fork.
+3. Do **not** push directly to the upstream repository.
+4. Submit all changes via a pull request from your fork.
+5. Wait for review and approval before merging.
+
+Direct pushes to protected branches are strictly prohibited.
+
+---
+
+## 🛠 Pull Request Requirements
+
+All pull requests must:
+
+- Reference a related issue (where applicable)
+- Clearly describe the changes made
+- Follow repository coding standards
+- Pass all automated checks
+- Be reviewed and approved before merging
+
+---
+
+## 🧹 Code Quality Standards
+
+Every project repository must enforce:
+
+- **Strict linting rules**
+- **Consistent code formatting**
+- **Automated checks in CI**
+
+Projects are expected to:
+- Use industry-standard linters and formatters
+- Reject code that does not meet defined quality thresholds
+- Keep configuration checked into the repository
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 CI/CD Requirements
+
+Each repository must maintain a functional CI/CD pipeline that:
+
+- Runs linting and formatting checks
+- Executes tests where applicable
+- Prevents merging when checks fail
+- Supports automated deployment if relevant
+
+Repositories without CI enforcement may not accept contributions.
+
+---
+
+## 🔒 Governance Policy
+
+- Organization-wide repositories (such as `.github`) require explicit approval from the organization owner before changes are made.
+- Structural, workflow, or policy changes must be discussed and approved prior to implementation.
+- No member may introduce breaking changes without approval.
+
+---
+
+## 🤝 Professional Conduct
+
+All contributors are expected to:
+
+- Communicate respectfully and professionally
+- Accept constructive feedback
+- Prioritize project stability and maintainability
+- Follow security and best practices
+
+---
+
+## 📌 Final Note
+
+These guidelines exist to ensure consistency, security, and long-term maintainability across the organization.
+
+By contributing to any repository within this organization, you acknowledge and agree to follow these policies.
