Contributing 🐔

Thanks for helping the coop!

Requirements (every PR)

• Official sources — claims link to primary docs (dated when the fact is time-sensitive)
• Code examples — runnable beats pseudocode; if it's a .nika.yaml, it must pass nika check
• Mermaid diagrams — follow Visual Standards
• Established format — breadcrumb header, TL;DR quote, bottom nav (copy an existing page)

Flow

1. Open an issue first for new patterns (pattern proposal template)
2. One pattern/topic per PR
3. Run a link check before pushing (every relative link must resolve to a real file)

What gets rejected

• Content without sources · dead links · diagrams off-standard
• Vendor pitches without disclosure (disclosed first-party examples are fine — this repo has one: Patterns as Code)
