KindFi Code of Conduct

Our Pledge

In the spirit of fostering an open, innovative, and welcoming environment, we as members, contributors, and leaders of the KindFi community pledge to make participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community centered around revolutionizing the 4th Industrial Revolution through AI and Web3 technologies.

  • Quality Craftsmanship: We maintain high standards in code quality, design, and documentation.
  • Open Source Commitment: We are dedicated to building transparent, accessible, and community-driven technologies.
  • Continuous Learning: We embrace growth, experimentation, and knowledge sharing.

Our Standards

Positive Behavior

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:

  • Technical Excellence: Following our established code style and conventions.
  • Collaborative Development: Engaging constructively in code reviews, design discussions, and technical decisions.
  • Inclusive Communication: Using welcoming and inclusive language that respects diverse backgrounds and experiences.
  • Constructive Feedback: Providing helpful, actionable feedback that helps improve code quality and project outcomes.

  • Quality Contributions: Submitting well-tested, documented code that follows our TypeScript, React, and Next.js conventions.
  • Respectful Disagreement: Engaging in technical debates with professionalism and focus on ideas, not personalities.
  • Community Support: Mentoring newcomers and helping build an inclusive environment for developers of all skill levels.

Unacceptable Behavior

  • Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks.
  • Public or private harassment.
  • Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission.
  • Submitting code that intentionally violates our security guidelines or introduces vulnerabilities.
  • Plagiarizing code or claiming others' work as your own.
  • Spamming issues, pull requests, or community channels.
  • Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting.

Code Quality & Contribution Standards

As a community focused on technical excellence, we maintain high standards for code contributions:

Code Style Requirements

All contributors must adhere to our comprehensive code style guide. Key requirements include:

  • TypeScript Best Practices: Leverage type safety, avoid any, use appropriate interface vs type declarations.
  • React Conventions: Write declarative, functional components following hooks patterns and composition principles.
  • Modern JavaScript: Use ES6+ features, meaningful naming conventions, and RORO (Receive Object, Return Object) patterns.
  • File Organization: Follow our lowercase-with-dashes naming convention and appropriate file extensions (.config.ts, .test.ts, .hook.ts, etc.).
  • No Default Exports: Prefer named exports for better tree-shaking and import clarity.

Contribution Process

  1. Code Review: All contributions undergo automated review by CodeRabbitAI followed by human review from project leads.
  2. Signed Commits: All commits must be signed for security and authenticity.
  3. Branch Naming: Follow our convention: feat-123-feature-name, fix-456-bug-description, etc.
  4. Documentation: Include appropriate JSDoc comments and update relevant documentation.
  5. Testing: Ensure code coverage meets project standards with proper unit and integration tests.

Git Conventions

  • Commit Messages: Use lowercase, descriptive messages under 72 characters.
  • Branch Workflow: Create feature branches from develop, rebase regularly, and follow our branching model.
  • Monorepo Awareness: Clearly indicate which part of the project your changes affect.

Community Engagement

Communication Channels

  • GitHub Issues: For bug reports, feature requests, and technical discussions.
  • Pull Requests: For code contributions following our review process
  • Telegram Community: Join our community for real-time collaboration, debugging help, and building connections.
  • Documentation: Refer to our live docs for comprehensive guides.

Enforcement Responsibilities

Community leaders and project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, including:

  • GitHub repositories and all related activities (issues, pull requests, discussions)
  • Our Telegram community channel
  • Official project communications and documentation
  • Public representation of the project (conferences, meetups, social media)
  • Design collaboration spaces (Figma workspaces)

This Code of Conduct also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.

Reporting Guidelines

If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please report it by contacting the project team through:

  • GitHub: Create a private issue or contact repository maintainers directly.
  • Email: report@kindfi.org.
