Host UK CIC mission: aggregate free tier compute to benefit OSS commons
Added:
- CONTRIBUTING.md: 5-minute contributor onboarding guide
- scripts/contribute.sh: One-command setup for new contributors
- Updated free-tier-services.md: Mission context, economics explained
The model:
- 100 contributors × free tiers = enterprise-scale compute
- core monitor aggregates findings from all sources
- Tasks routed to Host UK packages AND unfunded OSS projects
- LLMs learned from OSS, we give back
Who pays: Microsoft, Google, Groq (marketing budgets)
Who benefits: Open source commons

Strategy: Heavy analysis runs on contributor's GitHub Actions allowance
Microsoft/GitHub subsidizes the compute through free tiers
Workflows:
- contributor-ci.yml: Full CI runs on fork (contributor pays)
- fork-ai-triage.yml: AI analysis, labeling, security scan (fork pays)
- fork-pr-analysis.yml: Upstream just verifies fork CI passed
Benefits:
- Unlimited scale via contributor free tiers
- AI/Copilot features use their allowance
- We only pay for lightweight verification
- Forks inherit these workflows automatically

When creating a new repo from this template:
- template-bootstrap.yml runs on first push
- Creates standard labels (agent:*, priority:*, type:*)
- Enables security features (Dependabot, vuln alerts)
- Creates setup checklist issue
- TEMPLATE_SETUP.md guides customization
Files to customize: repos.yaml, CLAUDE.md, README.md
Delete TEMPLATE_SETUP.md when done.
