Contributing

Improve the directory through evidence.

The collection is a typed file in the repository. Small, sourced pull requests are the preferred way to propose a tool, correct a fact or update a review date. A proposal is never publication: every addition requires explicit Astar approval before merge.

Before proposing a tool

Check that it solves a concrete system-building problem.
Find the official product, documentation and source links.
Verify the licence and whether a complete deployment can be self-hosted.
Do not infer Astar endorsement or usage from inclusion.

Open an issue

The suggestion template asks for the same facts used in the directory and is suitable for non-code contributions.

Explain the primary sources and any remaining unknowns.

Review standard

Maintainers may decline correct entries to keep the collection small. Acceptance is an editorial decision; factual corrections are always welcome.
