Cora is a small open-source project and we want it to stay a place people enjoy contributing to.
- Be respectful. Disagreement is fine; rudeness, condescension, and personal attacks are not.
- Assume good faith. Most miscommunication isn't malicious — clarify before escalating.
- Stay on topic. Issues, PRs, and discussions are about Cora. Take off-topic conversations elsewhere.
- No harassment. Targeted insults, slurs, sustained disruption, sexualized comments, doxxing, or threats are not tolerated — anywhere, against anyone.
- No spam. That includes promotional links, irrelevant cross-posting, and AI-generated noise that doesn't engage with the actual conversation.
This applies to everything inside the project: issues, PRs, discussions, commits, and any community space we create later (Discord, etc.).
If you see a violation — or experience one — email hello@codecora.dev with subject [Cora conduct]. Include links and context.
Maintainers may, at their discretion:
- Edit or delete the offending content
- Issue a private warning
- Lock the thread
- Block the account from the project
We default to the lightest action that resolves the situation. Severe or repeat violations skip steps.
Maintainers act in this project's spaces. We don't police behavior outside the project, but we do consider patterns of behavior elsewhere when deciding on enforcement here.
This document is intentionally short. It is inspired by the Contributor Covenant but kept compact for a small project.
