Maintainer expectations

Explicit support ownership and response expectations for ecosystem contributors.

These expectations apply to the AgentsKit organization public repositories. Open-source sibling products (Registry, Playbook, Chat, Doc Bridge, Code Review) follow the same spirit even when ownership maps differ. AKOS is a separate optional managed layer and is not treated as a public repository here.

#Response SLA

Signal	Target
First maintainer response on a new issue	2 business days
Security reports	Follow `SECURITY.md` private process — do not discuss in public issues
`good first issue` claim	Acknowledge claim; un-claim if silent after 7 days

#Ownership

Code owners: .github/CODEOWNERS
Package conventions: each package’s CONVENTIONS.md
Architecture changes: ADR / RFC process (RFC process)

#Labels we keep meaningful

Label	Meaning
`good first issue`	Small, reproducible, setup + test known
`help wanted`	Maintainer-welcome help; may need context
`documentation`	Docs-only or docs-primary
`bug`	Broken behavior with reproduction
`enhancement`	Net-new capability

#Contributor interactions

Be specific and kind — link failing commands and logs.
Prefer draft PRs early over perfect first shots.
Do not request free consulting for private product work in public issues.
Never pressure contributors to ignore security or license constraints.

#Support channels

Bugs / features: GitHub Issues (templates required)
How-to questions: GitHub Discussions
Security: private disclosure only

#Launch and promotion

Maintainers must not announce broad public campaigns while ecosystem readiness is blocked. See:
