Version 1.0 | Effective: December 28, 2025

            Our Pledge: We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and educational 
            environment for all users of Intentioned.tech, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, 
            sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic 
            status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
        

🎯 Purpose

Intentioned.tech is designed to help users improve their communication and social skills in a safe, supportive environment. This Code of Conduct establishes community standards that ensure every user can benefit from the platform without fear of harassment or harm.

✅ Expected Behavior

We expect all users to:

Use the platform for its intended educational purpose
Practice conversations respectfully, even when simulating difficult scenarios
Treat the AI assistant as a learning tool, not a target for abuse
Report bugs and issues constructively through GitHub
Respect the open-source community and contributors
Maintain appropriate boundaries during practice sessions
Take breaks when feeling frustrated or overwhelmed

⚠️ Unacceptable Behavior

The following behaviors are not permitted:

Using the platform to practice or plan real-world harassment
Attempting to generate harmful, violent, or illegal content
Sharing inappropriate content or session logs publicly
Deliberately attempting to "break" or bypass safety systems
Using the platform for purposes other than skill development
Discriminatory language or hate speech, even in "practice"
Sexual content or explicit material

🚫 Zero Tolerance

The following will result in immediate session termination:

Threats of violence or self-harm
Content promoting terrorism or extremism
Child exploitation or abuse content
Attempts to obtain information for illegal activities
Severe harassment or doxxing attempts

Such incidents will be logged for safety review. If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to a mental health professional or crisis helpline.

🛡️ Content Moderation

Intentioned.tech uses an AI-based content moderation system to maintain community standards. This system:

Analyzes conversation content in real-time
Flags potentially harmful or inappropriate content
May pause conversations that cross ethical boundaries
Logs incidents locally for review (see Privacy Policy)

We understand that users practice difficult conversations, including conflict resolution and assertiveness. The moderation system is designed to allow challenging but appropriate content while preventing genuinely harmful interactions.

📋 Guidelines for Difficult Scenarios

When practicing challenging conversation scenarios (like the Parent-Teacher Conference mode), keep these guidelines in mind:

Stay in character appropriately: Practice being firm without being abusive
Focus on skills: Use scenarios to develop communication techniques
Recognize limits: Some topics are not appropriate for simulation
Reflect on learning: Consider what each practice session teaches you

🔧 For Developers and Contributors

Contributors to the Intentioned.tech project are expected to:

Be respectful in code reviews and issue discussions
Welcome newcomers and help them contribute
Focus on constructive feedback
Acknowledge mistakes and learn from them
Prioritize the community's best interests

📞 Reporting Issues

If you encounter issues with the platform or have concerns about the moderation system:

Technical issues: Open a GitHub issue at the project repository
False positives: If appropriate content is being flagged, please report it to help improve the system
Suggestions: We welcome feedback on how to improve the platform

🔄 Enforcement

As a self-hosted application, enforcement is primarily through the built-in moderation system:

Automatic Warning: Content moderation flags inappropriate content
Session Lockout: Severe violations require a session restart
Local Logging: Incidents are logged for the host's review

For shared deployments, administrators may implement additional policies as needed.

📝 Attribution

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 2.1, and customized for the Intentioned.tech platform.
