+This repository is currently a minimal scaffold for a small JavaScript or static-web project. It does not include application code, dependencies, or build tooling yet.
+
+## Current Files
+
+- `README.md`: project status and contributor notes
+- `.gitignore`: common local, build, editor, and OS exclusions
+
+## Contributor Guidance
+
+- Keep new additions small and easy to review.
+- Add documentation alongside any new source files or tooling.
+- Avoid committing generated output, secrets, local environment files, or editor-specific files.
+- Introduce build configuration or dependencies only when the repository has a clear implementation need.
