Code of Conduct
Claude Guides is a learning project. We want every issue, pull request, discussion, and review to leave the next contributor more confident than they were five minutes earlier — not less.
This document is short on purpose. The goal is a community where beginners feel safe asking obvious questions and experts feel safe being wrong in public.
The expectations
- Be patient. Most people opening their first issue here are also opening their first issue anywhere. Assume good faith.
- Be specific. "This is broken" is not a bug report. "Module 4's exercise 2 returns a 401 because
os.getenv('ANTHROPIC_API_KEY')is missing on Windows PowerShell" is. - Be constructive. Reviews are about the work, not the person. Disagree with the code, not the contributor.
- Be honest about scope. If a PR fixes one thing, don't sneak in three others. If you don't have time to maintain a feature, say so before opening the PR.
- Credit work. Cite sources, link prior art, and call out the contributor whose example you started from.
What's not OK
- Personal attacks, harassment, or discrimination of any kind — including in code comments, commit messages, or example data.
- Sharing API keys, customer data, or any third party's private information in issues or PRs.
- Using the issue tracker as a support inbox for unrelated commercial products.
- Bot-driven SEO PRs and content spam. We close them on sight.
Reporting
If something happens that breaks the spirit of the above and you'd rather not raise it in public, email hello@rondaninipublishing.com with the subject line [CoC] <one-line summary>. We read every message and respond within five working days.
Enforcement
Maintainers may edit, hide, or remove comments, commits, code, issues, and pull requests that don't fit the expectations above. For repeated or severe behaviour, we may temporarily or permanently block accounts from interacting with the repository.
We follow the spirit of the Contributor Covenant 2.1 — read it for the longer version of the same idea.
