Contributing.md Skill
Generate or align a Sentry SDK repository's CONTRIBUTING.md with the
standard template.
Spec compliance is the primary goal; SDK-specific content is preserved or added around it.
Target 100–200 lines — detailed process lives on develop.sentry.dev, link there, don't duplicate.
Steps
1. Fetch the template
https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/getting-started/templates/contributing-md-template/
This is the source of truth for required sections, structure, and links.
2. Read the existing file (if any)
