v1.2.0 - SOP and Open Source Release

Added

• Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) across all skills: audit generates a numbered remediation plan, each skill hands off to the next logical step, re-audit closes the loop
• Two-phase workflow: Phase 1 (per-repo optimization) and Phase 2 (portfolio optimization via /github empire)
• Canonical skill order: legal -> community -> release -> seo -> meta -> readme
• Clickable image link rules: all generated images output both local file:// and raw GitHub URLs
• Social preview generation guidance with download + upload links
• .github/CODEOWNERS for automated PR review assignment

Changed

• License changed from proprietary to MIT for open source release
• Repository published at avalonreset/claude-github (public)
• All internal URLs and badge references updated to public repository
• CONTRIBUTING.md rewritten with open source contribution guidelines
• CITATION.cff updated with MIT license and public repository URLs
• GitHub Discussions enabled for community Q&A
• Avatar pipeline simplified to JPEG-only (GitHub rejects WebP, PNGs often exceed 1MB)
• Contact email updated to benjamin@rankenstein.pro

Removed

• Proprietary license restrictions (membership requirement, redistribution ban)
• Private project language from community files

Fixed

• Social preview format policy enforced: JPEG only, under 1MB for GitHub upload
