| Reviewable structure | Architecture, case study, roadmap, and quality docs are easy to find. |
| Safe collaboration | Issue templates, PR template, security policy, support guide, and code of conduct exist. |
| Repeatable checks | Repository health workflow validates the professional documentation layer. |
| Portfolio readiness | A reviewer can understand the project without asking for missing context. |

The GitHub Actions workflow .github/workflows/repository-health.yml checks that the project has:
- README with a documentation hub.
- Architecture, case study, roadmap, quality, and review docs.
- Contribution, security, support, and conduct files.
- Issue and pull request templates.
- Clear repository ownership.
A strong repository should be able to answer these questions quickly:
- What problem does it solve?
- Who is it for?
- What is the main workflow?
- How is the code/project organized?
- How can someone run, review, or extend it?
- What is planned next?
- How are contributions and security handled?
After every meaningful update:
- Update README if the user-facing behavior changes.
- Update architecture docs if structure changes.
- Update roadmap when items are completed or reprioritized.
- Add screenshots or demos when the UI/workflow becomes visually important.
- Keep commits small and meaningful.
