GitHub Repo Standardizer

Detect a repository's current state, then polish its surface: issue forms, PR template, label taxonomy, CI, CODEOWNERS, rulesets, docs. Works on repo metadata and config files only — code logic is never touched. Idempotent — safe to re-run; fills gaps and reconciles drift without duplicating or clobbering.

When to use

• User says "standardize / tidy up / professionalize this repo"
• A new repo was just created and needs templates, labels, CI, and rules from day one
• A repo looks bare: no templates, no labels, no CI, no branch protection

Preflight (mandatory, in order)

Requires: gh CLI (authenticated), git, jq, python3 — verify they exist before starting (which gh git jq python3).
