How to bootstrap the registry repo

Once you create karlesmarin/tafagent-registry on GitHub (empty, public, no README), copy the contents of this registry-bootstrap/ directory into the new repo.

Steps

# 1. Clone the empty registry repo somewhere
git clone https://github.com/karlesmarin/tafagent-registry
cd tafagent-registry

# 2. Copy bootstrap files
cp -r /path/to/tafagent/registry-bootstrap/* .
cp -r /path/to/tafagent/registry-bootstrap/.github .

# 3. Initial commit
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: initial registry bootstrap (README + issue templates)"
git push

# 4. Done — registry is now ready to receive submissions

Or via GitHub web UI (no clone needed)

1. https://github.com/karlesmarin/tafagent-registry → "Add file" → "Upload files"
2. Drag the entire contents of registry-bootstrap/ (including .github/ folder)
3. Commit message: "feat: initial registry bootstrap"
4. Submit

What this gives you

• Public README explaining the registry
• 5 issue templates that auto-appear when contributors click "New issue":
  • ✅ Verified analysis
  • ❌ Refute a prediction
  • 🐛 Bug in TAF Agent
  • 💡 Propose new recipe
  • ➕ Add new model preset
• Labels are NOT auto-created — you'll need to manually add them on first issue (verified, refuted, recipe-proposed, preset-proposed, bug, discussion, question, frontier)

Recommended labels to create manually

In repo Settings → Labels:

Label	Color	Description
verified	green (#0e8a16)	independently confirmed by user
refuted	red (#d73a4a)	empirical measurement contradicts TAF
recipe-proposed	blue (#0075ca)	new recipe request
preset-proposed	blue (#0075ca)	new model preset request
bug	red (#d73a4a)	bug in TAF Agent web tool
discussion	gray (#cfd3d7)	open discussion
question	purple (#cc317c)	clarification needed
frontier	yellow (#fbca04)	very recent model under evaluation

That's it. After this, the 📤 Submit to registry button in TAF Agent will work end-to-end.
