A repository standard for long-term human and AI collaboration.

Both a reusable template and a reference implementation. Adopt the Open Source baseline, the Human-AI Collaboration baseline, or both — in one repository, one version stream.

OSS-only

Governance, contribution rules, security policy, and CI for a credible open-source project. No AI files.

AI-only

Source-of-truth instructions, an operational .ai/ workspace, and multi-tool pointer files. Drops into an existing repository.

Combined

Both baselines in one repository — the full reference implementation, ready as a GitHub template.

Why it exists

Many repositories carry prompts but lack durable structure, review rules, and continuity practices. This standard fills that gap with short, opinionated files that work across Claude, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor — without forcing a particular tool on adopters.
