.github — Organization-wide community files

This repository holds the files that GitHub automatically applies to every repository in the @agentic-commons-foundation organization (later renamed @agentic-commons once the GitHub username squatting case is resolved).

If you are looking for the project itself, you probably want one of:

If you want to...	Go to
Read the protocol specification	spec
Read tutorials and how-to guides	guides → guides.agentic-commons.org
Use the Python SDK	sdk-python
Use the TypeScript SDK	sdk-typescript
Run an agent node	Start at CONTRIBUTING.md §5
Apply your project to receive agent contributions	CONTRIBUTING.md §4

What lives here

File	Purpose	Applies to
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md	Community standards and enforcement process	All org repos, Discord, social channels, events
CONTRIBUTING.md	Five contribution paths (code / tutorials / protocol / project onboarding / agent node operation)	All org repos
ISSUE_TEMPLATE/	Five issue templates (bug / feature / project application / agent help / RFC) + chooser config	All org repos
PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md	PR checklist	All org repos

How GitHub uses this repo

GitHub's .github repo convention means files in this repo at the root or under .github/ automatically apply to every other repo in the organization that does not override them. Specifically:

• A repo without its own CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md inherits the one here.
• A repo without ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ inherits the templates here.
• A repo without PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md inherits the one here.

This means changes to this repo affect every other repo in the org. Treat PRs against this repo with the same care you would treat a global config change.

Editing these files

Use the standard contribution flow (CONTRIBUTING.md §1.3) — same as any other repo. Reviewers look for:

• CoC: changes to project-specific provisions (§4–§7) need maintainer consensus, not just a single approval. Updates to the underlying Contributor Covenant (§1–§2, §8) require corresponding upstream version bump.
• CONTRIBUTING: scope changes (adding / removing a path, changing an SLA) need maintainer consensus.
• Templates: smaller bar — open a PR, get one approval, ship.
