The ATR-Lab organization's profile page and the default community files for every lab repository.
Advanced Telerobotics Research Lab · Department of Computer Science · Kent State University
GitHub treats a repository named .github specially:
- profile/README.md is the organization's front page. It appears at the top of github.com/ATR-Lab for everyone.
- The community files here are defaults for every ATR-Lab repository that doesn't have its own: contributing guide, code of conduct, security policy, support page, issue forms and the pull request template. A repository that adds its own version of a file (or its own .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ folder) overrides the default.
| Path | What it is | Shows up |
|---|---|---|
| profile/README.md | The organization's front page | github.com/ATR-Lab |
| profile/assets/ | Header, social preview and icons used by the front page | Front page |
| CONTRIBUTING.md | How to contribute to any lab repository | "Contributing" link on every repo without its own |
| CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md | Community standards and how to report a problem | Every repo without its own |
| SECURITY.md | How to report a vulnerability privately | The "Security" tab of every repo without its own |
| SUPPORT.md | Where to ask for help | Linked when people open an issue |
| .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ | Bug report, feature request and documentation fix forms | "New issue" on every repo without its own |
| .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md | The pull request checklist | Every new pull request |
| AGENTS.md | Map of the whole organization for coding agents |
- The front page must stay short: what the lab is, where to start, current work and links. Use only the verified facts and wording in the ATR Lab design skill (references/brand-foundation.md).
- Images on the front page use absolute raw.githubusercontent.com URLs, because the organization page does not resolve relative paths. They appear once the change is merged into main.
- After editing, run the checks in AGENTS.md.
- Social preview: upload profile/assets/social-preview.png in Settings → General → Social preview.
These live in the organization's settings (github.com/organizations/ATR-Lab/settings/profile), not in files:
