Make your open-source project easier to join.

What it does

Improves an open-source project's path to a first merged contribution by finding barriers, fixing them, and verifying the setup from a clean environment.

When to use it

Use when contributors struggle to start, beginner issues attract no takers, first-time contributors disappear, or a project needs a CONTRIBUTING guide.

How to use it

Give it an open-source repository and an onboarding problem; it interviews the maintainer and develops verified contributor guidance with section-by-section agreement.
