GitHub-native documentation patterns for .NET projects: README structure with NuGet/CI/coverage badges and installation instructions, CONTRIBUTING.md with fork-PR workflow and development setup, issue templates (bug report with .NET version and repro steps, feature request with problem/solution/alternatives), PR templates with testing checklist and breaking changes section, GitHub Pages setup for documentation sites, repository metadata (CODEOWNERS, FUNDING.yml, social preview, topics/tags), and Mermaid diagram embedding in README files.

Version assumptions: .NET 8.0+ baseline for code examples. GitHub Actions for CI badges. NuGet.org for package badges.
