Lots of room to improve. Start with a README and CI.

No install instructions found in the README (−45 pts).
→ Add a section showing how to install dependencies.
Contributing guide is too short for full depth credit (−6 pts). 400+ words earns the full +12 pts.
→ Add setup instructions, code style notes, and how to run tests.
README is present.

No CI configuration detected in this repository.
→ If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.
No linter or formatter config found.
→ Add a linter config such as .eslintrc.json, .prettierrc, ruff.toml, or .golangci.yml to enforce consistent code style.
No dependency lockfile found (−70 pts).
→ Commit Gemfile.lock so Bundler installs are repeatable.
No issue or PR templates found (−100 pts).
→ Add .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ with bug_report.md and feature_request.md to guide contributors. It dramatically improves issue quality.
Test files detected (spec).

No dependency manifest detected at root.
→ Add a manifest (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, etc.) so others can install dependencies in one command.
No pushes in over 2 years. Looks unmaintained (−95 pts).
→ A recent commit signals the project is alive and worth using.
No repository description set on GitHub (−60 pts).
→ Add a one-line description in the repo Settings → About. It appears in search results and social previews.
No .gitignore found (−60 pts).
→ Add a .gitignore to keep build output, node_modules, and secrets out of version control.
