Contribution guidelines

This is what a qualifying month looks like.

  • Work in public

    Build in repos anyone can read, and push as you go. Your public GitHub activity is what we review, so progress that lives on your laptop can only count once it lands online.

  • Write original code

    Your own work is what counts. If you build on a fork or a template, the value you add on top of it is what we look at.

  • Keep a steady cadence

    Show up across the whole month. Many days of real progress spread over the weeks is exactly the shape of work MOST exists to reward.

  • Ship substance

    Commits that move the project forward: features, fixes, tests, docs. A day counts when you shipped something real that day.

  • Get contributions merged

    On the pool repos, pick a scoped issue, open a pull request, and see it through review. Every contribution is reviewed manually and the merge is the bar.

  • Sustain it month over month

    Each month of qualifying work can earn an AI credit top-up, and the top-ups can grow as your streak runs. The longer you keep building, the more you stand to earn.
