# Governance and Policies

How the Pulsar Stellar toolkit is built, reviewed, and kept safe. These pages state the rules that the code repositories enforce. The enforceable source of truth lives in each repository, in `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `SECURITY.md`, and the pull request template. These pages summarize those rules and point you to the right place.

The toolkit spans three repositories:

* [pulsar-core](https://github.com/pulsar-stellar/pulsar-core), the Rust contract layer.
* [pulsar-app](https://github.com/pulsar-stellar/pulsar-app), the TypeScript SDK, the Go indexer, and the web explorer.
* [pulsar-docs](https://github.com/pulsar-stellar/pulsar-docs), this documentation.

Read these once before you open your first issue or pull request.

* [Contributing](/pulsar-stellar-sdk/governance/contributing.md). How the project is built, how work starts from an issue, and the commit and test discipline a change is measured against.
* [Pull Request Standards](/pulsar-stellar-sdk/governance/pull-requests.md). The pull request template, what each section asks for, the checks that must pass, and the checklist to run before you push.
* [Security Policy](/pulsar-stellar-sdk/governance/security.md). What counts as a vulnerability, how to report one privately, the scope of each repository, and how disclosure works.
* [Code of Conduct](/pulsar-stellar-sdk/governance/code-of-conduct.md). The behavior expected of everyone who takes part, and how to report a problem.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://emeditweb.gitbook.io/pulsar-stellar-sdk/governance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
