Contributing
OpenLegal is open source and built on verified claims. Contributions that add capabilities, tests, docs, or honest status reports are welcome — as long as they respect the privacy boundary and never fake a pass.
Where the work lives
The canonical repository is on GitHub (verified as the project’s configured git remote): github.com/M4G3LL4N0/obviouslybad. It is currently private while the public open-source release is prepared. Issues, pull requests, documentation, and the regression suite live there alongside the CLI, API, and extensions.
Privacy-first contribution rule
Never commit case data, credentials, provider keys, or private configuration. Real-matter artifacts must stay out of the repository and out of issues. Synthetic fixtures only.
How to contribute
Match the mission
Contributions must make OpenLegal more real, usable, reliable, or honest — or they probably do not belong.
Test-first, evidence-backed
Features ship with tests. Status claims in the capability matrix must be backed by verified runs — not aspiration.
Stay on the safe side
No secrets, no case data, no private paths, no .env values — in code, docs, or issues.
Honest review
Reviewers verify the claims as well as the diff. Blocked or partial status stays blocked or partial until proven otherwise.
