+# Adoption Kit
+
+This page gives maintainers a copy-paste path for trying `oss-signal` and leaving useful public evidence.
+
+## Try The CLI
+
+Run against a public repository without cloning:
+
+```bash
+npm exec --yes --package=oss-signal@0.7.0 -- oss-signal owner/repo --format markdown --output oss-signal-report.md
+```
+
+Run against the current checkout:
+
+```bash
+npx oss-signal . --format markdown --output oss-signal-report.md
+```
+
+Generate a human-reviewed issue body:
+
+```bash
+npx oss-signal owner/repo --format issue --output maintainer-follow-up.md
+```
+
+## Add The GitHub Action
+
+```yaml
+name: Repository health
+
+on:
+  pull_request:
+  push:
+    branches: [main]
+
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+
+jobs:
+  oss-signal:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: SalmonPlays/oss-signal@v0.7.0
+        id: oss-signal
+        with:
+          fail-under: "80"
+          output: oss-signal-report.md
+          summary: "true"
+      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+        with:
+          name: oss-signal-report
+          path: oss-signal-report.md
+```
+
+## Add SARIF To Code Scanning
+
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+  security-events: write
+
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+  - uses: SalmonPlays/oss-signal@v0.7.0
+    with:
+      format: sarif
+      output: oss-signal.sarif
+      summary: "false"
+  - uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v3
+    with:
+      sarif_file: oss-signal.sarif
+```
+
+Full walkthrough: [sarif-code-scanning.md](sarif-code-scanning.md)
+
+## Share Evidence
+
+Useful adoption evidence is concrete and public:
+
+- A workflow run that uses `SalmonPlays/oss-signal@v0.7.0`.
+- A Markdown report attached as a workflow artifact.
+- A SARIF upload that appears in Code Scanning.
+- A focused issue or pull request created from an audit finding.
+- A short note about what maintainer task the audit improved.
+
+Open an [adoption report](https://github.com/SalmonPlays/oss-signal/issues/new?template=adoption_report.yml) when a public repository uses the CLI or Action. Open a [maintainer audit report](https://github.com/SalmonPlays/oss-signal/issues/new?template=audit_report.yml) when you want to discuss a generated report before posting follow-up to another repository.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+Do not treat the score as a code-quality verdict. It measures visible maintainer-readiness signals: contribution paths, security reporting, CI, templates, release notes, and related repository hygiene.
+
+Do not claim third-party adoption unless the repository owner or maintainer has actually used, merged, or acknowledged the workflow.

+# Architecture
+
+`oss-signal` is intentionally small: a Node.js CLI, a GitHub Action wrapper, and deterministic rule modules that inspect visible repository files and GitHub repository metadata.
+
+## Components
+
+| Component | Path | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| CLI entrypoint | [src/cli.js](../src/cli.js) | Parses arguments, selects local/GitHub/inventory mode, writes reports, and applies `--fail-under`. |
+| Audit engine | [src/index.js](../src/index.js) | Reads repository files, evaluates maintainer-readiness rules, scores results, and renders Markdown, JSON, SARIF, inventory, or issue output. |
+| Action wrapper | [src/action.js](../src/action.js) | Maps GitHub Action inputs to CLI behavior, sets Action outputs, and writes the step summary. |
+| Action metadata | [action.yml](../action.yml) | Defines Marketplace-visible inputs, outputs, branding, and Node runtime. |
+| Rules reference | [docs/rules.md](rules.md) | Documents each rule, weight, and maintainer rationale. |
+
+## Data Flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  input["Repository path, GitHub URL, owner/repo, or inventory file"]
+  reader["File and metadata reader"]
+  rules["Maintainer-readiness rules"]
+  score["Score and grade"]
+  outputs["Markdown, JSON, SARIF, issue body, or inventory report"]
+  ci["GitHub Actions summary, artifact, or Code Scanning upload"]
+
+  input --> reader --> rules --> score --> outputs --> ci
+```
+
+## Local Repository Mode
+
+Local mode reads files from the target path and checks for visible maintainer signals such as `README`, license, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `SECURITY.md`, issue templates, pull request templates, CI, tests, Dependabot, CodeQL-style workflows, and release notes.
+
+No network access is required for local mode.
+
+## GitHub Repository Mode
+
+GitHub URL mode fetches a public repository file tree through the GitHub API and checks the same visible signals without requiring a clone. When `GITHUB_TOKEN` is available, it can use the token for higher API rate limits. The token is not printed in output.
+
+## Inventory Mode
+
+Inventory mode reads a newline-delimited target list and runs the audit for each repository. It is designed for maintainers who need a quick portfolio view across several public repositories.
+
+## Output Modes
+
+- Markdown: human-readable maintainer report.
+- JSON: automation-friendly result object.
+- SARIF: warning-level findings for GitHub Code Scanning or other SARIF consumers.
+- Issue: an editable maintainer follow-up body.
+- Inventory: table and aggregate summary across multiple targets.
+
+## Design Constraints
+
+- Dependency-light by design.
+- Deterministic scoring from visible repository signals.
+- No hidden telemetry.
+- No automatic issue or pull request posting.
+- No claim that the score measures product quality, code quality, popularity, or security completeness.
