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 package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, or bun.lock so Node 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.
CI is configured (.github/workflows/jekyll-gh-pages.yml).
