No tests detected anywhere in the repository.

→ Add automated tests. They prove the code works and give contributors confidence to make changes.

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 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.

No dependency lockfile found (−70 pts).

→ Commit the lockfile for this project's package manager so installs produce the same dependency versions everywhere.

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 .gitignore found (−60 pts).

→ Add a .gitignore to keep build output, node_modules, and secrets out of version control.
