Reviewer rubric

Placement

  • Is this the right contribution type?
  • Is it in the correct lane or contributor path?

Completeness

  • Are the required files or sections present?
  • Does the artifact explain what it is for?

Source boundary

  • Is external influence cited without slipping into copy-paste?
  • Are imported references/ materials kept separate from contributor output?

Integration

  • Does the contribution connect to the rest of the repo through links?
  • Is the change easy for the next contributor to understand and extend?

Quality

  • Is the writing clear and durable?
  • If code exists, is the structure clean and scoped to the example?
