.github

Default community health files for the nxm-rs organisation. Because even chaos needs structure.

What Is Here

• Issue Templates: Bug reports and feature requests that get to the point
• PR Template: What changed and why it will not break everything (hopefully)
• Contributing Guidelines: How to contribute without wasting everyone's time

Using These Templates

These templates automatically apply to all repositories in the nxm-rs organisation that do not have their own .github folder.

Customising for Your Repo

If you need different templates for your specific repository:

1. Create your own .github/ folder in your repo
2. Add your custom templates
3. They will override these defaults

Labels

We use a pragmatic labelling system across all repos:

Priority

• p0-fire: Production is burning
• p1-broken: Actually broken, fix this week
• p2-annoying: Not broken but annoying
• p3-maybe: Nice to have, probably never happens

Status

• blocked: Cannot proceed
• investigating: Someone is looking at it
• pr-welcome: We want this but will not do it

Type

• bug: Code does the wrong thing
• feature: New capability
• dx: Developer experience issues
• perf: Performance problems
• debt: Technical debt
• docs: Documentation issues

Effort

• effort/minutes: Quick fix
• effort/hours: Few hours work
• effort/days: Few days work
• effort/weeks: Week+ of work

Philosophy

We write code that works. We fix bugs that matter. We build features that solve real problems.

No corporate theatre. No process for process's sake. Just pragmatic engineering.
