What
Create a SETUP.md (or .devcontainer.json) that helps new contributors get started in under 5 minutes.
Should include
- Prerequisites: what you need installed (nothing for docs-only contributions; Python 3.8+ for skill testing)
- Quick start: clone, browse, find your entry point (link to Start Here table in README)
- How to test changes:
- For docs: preview markdown rendering
- For skills: install in Claude Code and test manually
- Project layout: brief directory tree explaining what lives where
- Where to ask questions: link to issues/discussions
Notes
- checkgrow is a methodology repo, not a code repo — setup is minimal
- Different contribution types need different setup paths
- See CONTRIBUTING.md
