+# Contributing
+
+These are the Zevenue GTM skills we use in production, published for anyone running outbound. Contributions from the Zevenue team and the community are welcome.
+
+## The one rule that matters
+
+**This repo is public. Treat everything in it as world-readable, forever.**
+
+Nothing here may contain client or prospect names, staff names, pricing, margins, retainers, deal sizes, real call data, internal file paths, or secrets. A skill is only ready for this repo once it is fully generic - it should read like a framework, not like an account.
+
+## Where to build (Zevenue team)
+
+Build and iterate skills in the **private** workspace first, where real client context is safe to work with. Port a skill here only once it's sanitized - the public version should carry the *method*, not the *account it was tuned on*.
+
+Practically: develop privately → strip everything account-specific → open a PR here with generic examples.
+
+## What stays out of this repo
+
+Keep these in the private workspace, not here:
+
+- Anything with client/prospect names, logos, or identifying details
+- Anything with pricing, margins, retainers, deal sizes, or GMV figures
+- Reply/messaging skills tuned to one named account
+- Sales collateral or proposal generators with embedded deal data
+- Bookkeeping, finance, or compensation workflows
+- Real call transcripts, prospect lists, or any PII
+
+When in doubt, leave it out and ask Yusuf.
+
+## How to contribute
+
+1. **Branch** off `main` (`feat/skill-name` or `fix/...`).
+2. **Build or edit** the skill under `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`. Keep the input/output contract explicit. Use generic, fabricated examples.
+3. **Scan locally** before you push:
+   ```bash
+   python utils/leak_scan.py
+   ```
+   Fix anything it flags. If a flagged line is genuinely safe, add a trailing `# leakscan:ignore`.
+4. **Open a PR.** Fill in the sanitization checklist in the PR template.
+5. The **leak-scan** check runs automatically and must pass. **Yusuf reviews** every PR (CODEOWNERS) before it merges.
+
+`main` is protected - changes land only through a reviewed PR. That review is the gate that keeps this repo clean.
+
+## Skill conventions
+
+- One skill per directory under `.claude/skills/<name>/`, defined in `SKILL.md`.
+- State inputs and outputs explicitly; skills should be reproducible, not magic prompts.
+- API-backed skills read credentials from environment variables (see `.env.example`) - never hardcode keys.
+- If a skill needs a Python helper, put it in `utils/` and add deps to `requirements.txt`.

+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+"""
+Leak scanner for the public gtm-skills repo.
+
+This repo is PUBLIC. Nothing here may contain client/prospect names, staff names,
+pricing, margins, retainers, internal file paths, or real call data. This script
+is the machine gate that enforces that on every pull request (see
+.github/workflows/leak-scan.yml) and can be run locally before you push.
+
+It gates what a change ADDS, not what is already public — so it scans added lines
+(against a base ref) by default, not the whole repo's history.
+
+Two detection layers:
+  1. Generic structural patterns (committed, safe to be public): money-in-pricing
+     context, Fathom share links, internal path/file references, raw emails.
+  2. A denylist of literal strings (client names, staff names, specific figures)
+     loaded from a file that is NEVER committed. Locally that file is
+     .leakscan-denylist.txt (gitignored). In CI it is written from the
+     LEAKSCAN_DENYLIST repository secret. The sensitive strings live only there.
+
+Usage:
+    python utils/leak_scan.py                  # scan lines added vs origin/main
+    python utils/leak_scan.py --staged         # scan staged added lines (pre-commit)
+    python utils/leak_scan.py --diff <base>    # scan lines added vs <base> (CI)
+    python utils/leak_scan.py --all            # audit every tracked file, wholesale
+    python utils/leak_scan.py path/a path/b    # scan specific files, wholesale
+
+Suppress a known-safe line with a trailing comment:  # leakscan:ignore
+Exit code 0 = clean, 1 = findings.
