Summary
- Coaching framework for open source project decisions, contributor experience, and maintainer sustainability.
- Routes questions about launching, growing, governing, and sustaining open source projects to the official Open Source Guides, with inferred persona and project stage to narrow recommendations Converts guide themes into prioritized action plans (3–6 concrete next steps) scaled to the user's maturity level, avoiding heavyweight process too early Covers contributor onboarding, community health, maintainer burnout, code of conduct adoption, funding models, legal basics, and security practices Stays advisory by default; does not draft policies, governance charters, or contributor materials unless explicitly requested Links all recommendations back to official opensource.guide URLs with attribution and reasoning for each guide selection
