# Contributing to Awesome AI Governance

Thank you for helping maintain this curated list!

## How to Add a Resource

1. **Open an issue first** — describe the resource and which section it belongs in
2. **Check for duplicates** — search the existing list before adding
3. **Verify quality** — the resource should be:
   - Publicly accessible (no paywalls for core content)
   - Actively maintained or a significant historical reference
   - Specifically relevant to AI governance, safety, or responsible AI
4. **Fork and submit a PR** with:
   - The resource added to the correct section in alphabetical order
   - A one-line description (not the resource's own tagline — add context)
   - For GitHub repos: include a stars badge
   - PR title: `Add: [Resource Name]`
