Research direction

Start by locating the repository's existing contributor or contribution-guidance documentation and read its current issue and pull-request process. Add the four specified issue-claiming guidelines without automation, then verify that each acceptance criterion is addressed and the documentation remains consistent with the existing process.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area: contributor documentation good first issue help wanted size: small

Parent: #34

Problem

When many contributors arrive, issue claiming should be friendly and predictable.

Boundary

Documentation/process only. Do not add automation in this ticket.

Acceptance criteria

  • Document how contributors should ask to be assigned or claim a task.
  • Explain when maintainers may reassign stale tasks.
  • Recommend starting with good first issue or size: small tickets.
  • Mention that PRs still need maintainer review before merge.
