TechTide AI Organization Profile

This is the organization-profile and default community-health repository for TechTide AI. GitHub renders profile/README.md on the organization page and can use the supported policy and template files in this public .github repository as defaults for repositories that do not provide their own versions.[1]

Why this exists

What it does. Holds the organization profile that GitHub renders at github.com/TechTideOhio and the default community-health files (contributing, code of conduct, governance, security, support), issue forms, and a pull-request template that GitHub applies to TechTideOhio repositories that do not define their own. A read-only workflow lints Markdown and checks links on every change.

Who it serves. Visitors deciding whether TechTide AI's public repositories are worth their time, contributors who need one set of expectations across repositories, and maintainers who want a single place to keep policy text current.

Why Alex built it. The profile README was added on 2026-07-26 (8b592a0 "docs: add organization profile README"), the day the Swarm 357 landing site became its own public repository, and the policy set followed on 2026-08-15 (ac5d3a9 "docs: establish organization community standards"; c7533c1 "ci: add documentation quality checks"). REPOSITORY_STANDARDS.md records the intent: separate organization-wide defaults from the controls each code repository must configure itself, as "a practical quality baseline, not a claim that every project has identical risk, release, or maintenance requirements." Maintained by Alex Cinovoj, Founder & CTO of TechTide AI.

Real-world use case (2025-2026 evidence). Verified in this repository. Giving a small organization's public repositories one contribution path, one private security-reporting path, and a linted, link-checked profile without copying the same files into every repository (.github/workflows/documentation.yml, .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/, CODEOWNERS). GitHub's Octoverse 2025 report found that about 63% of public repositories include a README while only 5.5% ship contributor guides and 2% a code of conduct, and called governance documentation an ecosystem-wide gap1. GitHub began surfacing CONTRIBUTING.md in a repository tab and sidebar in August 2025, so a default file is now visible wherever it applies2. GitHub's maintainer guidance recommends contributor guidelines and a code of conduct before a community forms rather than after3. The rendering mechanism for profile/README.md is documented in GitHub Docs4.

What This Repository Provides

Capability Description
Public organization presence A concise, curated profile with clear starting points for TechTide AI projects.
Community-health defaults Organization-wide contribution, conduct, governance, security, and support guidance.
Structured intake Default bug and feature issue forms plus a pull-request template, designed to be reusable without repository-specific labels or projects.
Review accountability A focused CODEOWNERS rule for policy and profile changes in this repository.
Documentation quality Pinned, read-only automation that lints Markdown and checks links on pull requests and updates.

Scope and Precedence

The files in this repository establish a consistent baseline. A repository-specific policy takes precedence when it is present, particularly for installation instructions, licensing, support, security reporting, and release practices. Contributors should therefore begin with the documentation in the repository they intend to change.

This repository should remain concise, navigable, and focused on organization-wide guidance. Propose changes to these policies through a pull request with a clear rationale; review follows GOVERNANCE.md.
