Add a DCO status check requiring every human-authored commit to carry a Signed-off-by trailer matching the commit author or committer, certifying https://developercertificate.org. Bot-opened PRs (Dependabot, release-please) are exempt and merge commits are skipped.

Organization-wide baseline inherited by repos without their own CONTRIBUTING.md: issue-first PRs with closing keywords, Conventional Commit titles, DCO sign-off per the Linux Foundation model, and AI-assistance disclosure per the kernel convention. Assisted-by: Claude Code (claude-fable-5) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: kperry <kperry@godaddy.com>
The verification logic moves to dco-check.yml (on: workflow_call) so every repo in the org calls one implementation instead of carrying its own copy; dco.yml becomes a thin caller. This repo references the reusable workflow by local path so its own PRs always exercise the version they change.

Replace the inlined check with a thin caller of agentnameservice/.github/.github/workflows/dco-check.yml@main so the policy is maintained in one place. This check errors until agentnameservice/.github#6 merges (merge that first).

DCO enforcement moves to https://github.com/apps/dco — the standard across Linux Foundation projects — which validates sign-offs per commit and exempts bot-authored commits and merges by default.

Summary
Adds the organization-default
CONTRIBUTING.md, inherited by every repo without its own: issue-first PRs with closing keywords, Conventional Commit titles, Developer Certificate of Origin sign-off (git commit -s), and AI-assistance disclosure per the kernel convention. Enforcement comes from the org-wide DCO app — the LF/CNCF standard, validating sign-offs per commit with bot-authored commits and merges exempt — so no per-repo workflow is required. (Earlier revisions of this branch carried an Actions-based check; it was dropped in favor of the app.)Testing
Docs-only change; DCO enforcement itself is validated by the app on pull requests once installed org-wide.
