The goal is to make the public baseline release path easy for a new developer to inspect, understand, and improve without using paid services or making production-readiness claims.

Task

Walk the first-time contributor path and improve one small thing:

  1. Read the README first screen and the �0.1.0-foundation release notes.
  2. Inspect AGENTS.md, GOVERNANCE.md, ROADMAP.md, and �gentic-readiness.json if present.
  3. Identify one confusing setup, docs, governance, provider-alternative, or contribution-path gap.
  4. Open a focused PR that updates documentation only, or comment on this issue with the exact gap and proposed fix.

Acceptance criteria

  • The improvement is small enough for one focused PR.
  • No real credentials, tokens, or provider secrets are added.
  • No production certification, AAIF endorsement, Linux Foundation endorsement, MCP compliance, Google ranking, GitHub Trending, or external adoption claim is introduced.
  • Any suggested provider path keeps OSS or self-hosted alternatives visible.

Good first contribution examples

  • Clarify a prerequisite or command in the README.
  • Add one missing link between README, release notes, and the canonical project page.
  • Improve a provider-alternative note with one concrete OSS option.
  • Add a short troubleshooting note for a common first-run failure.
  • Tighten wording where the repo could sound more production-certified than the evidence supports.
