+# Code of Conduct
+
+## Our commitment
+
+SlurmDeck contributors and maintainers are committed to a welcoming,
+professional, and harassment-free community. Participation is open regardless
+of background, identity, experience, ability, or viewpoint.
+
+## Expected behavior
+
+- Be respectful, patient, and constructive.
+- Discuss ideas and evidence rather than attacking people.
+- Accept feedback gracefully and acknowledge mistakes.
+- Respect privacy and avoid sharing another person's personal or institutional
+  information without permission.
+- Prioritize the safety of users, contributors, and affected communities.
+
+## Unacceptable behavior
+
+Harassment, threats, discrimination, sexualized attention, deliberate
+intimidation, sustained disruption, doxxing, and other conduct that would be
+unreasonable in a professional setting are not acceptable. Retaliation against
+someone who reports a concern is also prohibited.
+
+## Scope
+
+This policy applies in project repositories, issue trackers, reviews,
+discussions, and other spaces where someone is representing SlurmDeck.
+
+## Reporting and enforcement
+
+Report conduct concerns privately to the maintainer using a private contact
+method listed on their GitHub profile. If none is available, open an issue
+requesting a private contact channel without including sensitive details.
+
+The maintainer will review reports in good faith, protect the reporter's
+privacy as far as practical, and respond proportionately. Responses may
+include a clarification, warning, content removal, temporary restriction, or
+permanent exclusion from project spaces. Anyone directly involved in a report
+should not make the final enforcement decision when an uninvolved maintainer
+is available.

 ## Pull requests
 
+Use a Conventional Commit-formatted pull request title. SlurmDeck uses squash
+merges, so the pull request title becomes the commit subject on `main`.
+
 Describe the user-visible change, safety implications, and checks performed.
 Keep unrelated refactoring out of the same pull request. Review feedback may
 request smaller commits or additional failure-path coverage.
