Why we picked it This is a short, plain-language code of conduct adopted by thousands of communities (including nine of the ten largest open source projects), and its interactive builder lets you fill in your own values, reporting contact, and enforcement steps in a few minutes. It reads like a shared understanding between people, not a legal document, so it is a clean starting point you can trim rather than a corporate policy you have to soften. Treat the generated text as a first draft in your own voice, not a verdict.
Contributor Covenant: A Code of Conduct for Digital Communities
From Contributor Covenant by Organization for Ethical Source 1 page, interactive builder
- A ready, human-sounding baseline you can customize instead of writing rules from a blank page.
- The builder forces the two things people forget: who to contact and what actually happens when a line is crossed.
- It is a starting draft to edit down to your community's tone, not a document to paste in whole.
