Add Community Files

Add Community Files

Add standard community files to a project preparing for public release: CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, .github/SECURITY.md, and a pull request template.

Type: Skill Trigger: /add-community-files

Installation

See the marketplace install instructions.

What It Does

Detects the project's build system (Makefile, package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Gemfile) and populates contribution guidelines with relevant setup, build, test, and lint commands. Generates four files:

• CONTRIBUTING.md: contribution guidelines with development setup, code style, commit message conventions, and pull request process
• CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md: Contributor Covenant v3.0 with a configurable contact method
• .github/SECURITY.md: security vulnerability reporting policy using GitHub's private reporting
• .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: pull request template with description, type of change, and checklist

Checks for existing files before writing and asks before overwriting.
