opensource

Activate When

• /godmode:opensource, "set up open source project"
• "contributing guide", "code of conduct", "issue templates"
• Preparing to publicly publish a repository

Workflow

1. Repository Health Check

ls LICENSE CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md CONTRIBUTING.md \
  SECURITY.md .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ \
  .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md \
  .github/CODEOWNERS 2>/dev/null
# Secrets audit
grep -rn "sk_\|password\|secret\|token\|api_key" \
  --include="*.ts" --include="*.py" --include="*.env*" .

| File | Status | Quality |
| LICENSE | present/missing | valid SPDX? |
| CODE_OF_CONDUCT | present/missing | Covenant 2.1? |
| CONTRIBUTING | present/missing | setup verified? |
| SECURITY | present/missing | private reporting? |
| Issue templates | present/missing | YAML format? |
| PR template | present/missing | has checklist? |
| CODEOWNERS | present/missing | paths mapped? |

2. Scaffolding

LICENSE: detect project goals, recommend license. CODE_OF_CONDUCT: Contributor Covenant 2.1. CONTRIBUTING: setup instructions, style guide, PR process, community links. SECURITY: private vulnerability reporting channel.

IF setup takes > 15 minutes: simplify. IF no license: code is "all rights reserved" by default.

3. Issue & PR Templates

# .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml
# .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml
# .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml
#   blank_issues_enabled: false
# .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

ALWAYS disable blank issues (force structured templates).

4. GitHub Actions

# Auto-labeling: .github/workflows/labeler.yml
# Stale management: .github/workflows/stale.yml
#   NEVER auto-close security or critical labels
# Welcome bot: .github/workflows/welcome.yml
# Release drafter: .github/workflows/release-drafter.yml
# CODEOWNERS: .github/CODEOWNERS

5. Community Engagement

Discussions categories:
  Announcements (maintainers), Q&A, Ideas, Show & Tell
Funding: .github/FUNDING.yml
Discord/Slack: #general, #help, #contributing, #releases

6. Maintainer Workflows

Triage: new issue -> label -> assign -> priority
  SLA: first response < 48h
Review: PR opened -> auto-assign -> review < 48h
Release: determine scope -> changelog -> tag -> publish
  Use --dry-run before actual release

7. Governance

Solo project: BDFL (benevolent dictator)
10+ contributors: consensus model
50+ contributors: steering committee
Match governance to project size.

IF governance mismatch: document and update.

Quality Targets

• Target: <48h response time for new issues
• Target: >80% of PRs reviewed within 7 days
• Target: 100% of public APIs documented

Hard Rules

1. NEVER open source without LICENSE file.
2. NEVER skip Code of Conduct.
3. NEVER commit secrets to public repository.
4. NEVER use blank issue templates.
5. NEVER auto-close security/critical labels.
6. ALWAYS include private vulnerability reporting.
7. ALWAYS test CONTRIBUTING.md on clean machine.

TSV Logging

Append .godmode/opensource.tsv:

timestamp	action	files_created	health_score	status

Keep/Discard

KEEP if: renders correctly, YAML validates,
  links valid, health score improved.
DISCARD if: validation fails or links broken.

Stop Conditions

STOP when FIRST of:
  - All critical files present (LICENSE, README,
    CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, SECURITY)
  - Issue + PR templates configured
  - No secrets found in repo

Autonomous Operation

On failure: git reset --hard HEAD~1. Never pause.

Error Recovery

Failure	Action
License incompatibility	Audit deps with license-checker
CI fails for contributors	Check secrets not required for PRs
Spam PRs/issues	Add templates, enable auto-labeling
