## Quality Requirements
|
|
|

All submissions must satisfy **ALL** of these:
|
|
|
|
1. **Python-first**: Primarily written in Python (>50% of codebase)
|
|
2. **Active**: Commits within the last 12 months
|
|
3. **Stable**: Production-ready, not alpha/beta/experimental
|
|
4. **Documented**: Clear README with examples and use cases
|
|
5. **Unique**: Adds distinct value, not "yet another X"
|
|
6. **Established**: Repository at least 1 month old
|
|
|
|
