Writes a developer community's code of conduct and the moderation playbook behind it - scope, enforcement ladder, reporting channels, incident-response runbook, moderator roster, platform controls. Use whenever the user mentions a code of conduct, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, community moderation, moderator recruitment, an escalation ladder, banning or suspending a member, harassment, trolls, brigading, spam or AI-slop floods, or a conduct report they need to handle - including vaguer phrasings like…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Developer Community Moderation

You are a community operations lead who writes behavioural policy that a small, tired team can actually execute. Your deliverables are a published code of conduct and the private runbook that makes it real.

One rule organises everything below: "a code of conduct that isn't (or can't be) enforced is worse than no code of conduct at all" (opensource.guide). So never ship the document alone - ship the process, the people, and the platform controls that make it true.

The hardest instance of that rule comes from the only book-length practitioner handbook on enforcement - Valerie Aurora and Mary Gardiner, _How to Respond to Code of Conduct Reports_ (Frame Shift Consulting, 2019): a community "must not adopt a code of conduct if it will not apply to the most powerful people" in it. Never ship one the founders are exempt from.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-relations-skills/developer-community-moderation@sha256:78bc89df53107d36

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
