OpenWarden is intentionally small. Contributions should improve the Warden pattern without turning it into a full project-management platform.
Good contributions:
- clearer Warden prompts;
- better review-note templates;
- case studies from other tools such as Linear, Jira, Notion, RFCs, or research logs;
- examples of safe recurring-agent policies;
- cancellation-note examples.
Avoid contributions that:
- make Warden an implementation bot;
- require a specific vendor or control plane;
- add broad automation without human review points;
- encourage agents to merge, approve, or force-close by default.
- The change preserves Warden as a direction-keeping role.
- The change is general, not specific to one private project.
- Any real-world example uses public information or anonymized details.
- The README still gives a minimal usable path.
