+# Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of
+experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance,
+race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+*   Using welcoming and inclusive language
+*   Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+*   Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+*   Focusing on what is best for the community
+*   Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+*   The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+    advances
+*   Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+*   Public or private harassment
+*   Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+    address, without explicit permission
+*   Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+    professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any
+contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening,
+offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+This Code of Conduct also applies outside the project spaces when the Project
+Steward has a reasonable belief that an individual's behavior may have a
+negative impact on the project or its community.
+
+## Conflict Resolution
+
+We do not believe that all conflict is bad; healthy debate and disagreement
+often yield positive results. However, it is never okay to be disrespectful or
+to engage in behavior that violates the project’s code of conduct.
+
+If you see someone violating the code of conduct, you are encouraged to address
+the behavior directly with those involved. Many issues can be resolved quickly
+and easily, and this gives people more control over the outcome of their
+dispute. If you are unable to resolve the matter for any reason, or if the
+behavior is threatening or harassing, report it. We are dedicated to providing
+an environment where participants feel welcome and safe.
+
+Reports should be directed to Nelson Elhage <[email protected]>, the
+Project Steward(s) for `rules_boost`. It is the Project Steward’s duty to
+receive and address reported violations of the code of conduct. They will then
+work with a committee consisting of representatives from the Open Source
+Programs Office and the Google Open Source Strategy team. If for any reason you
+are uncomfortable reaching out the Project Steward, please email
+[email protected].
+
+We will investigate every complaint, but you may not receive a direct response.
+We will use our discretion in determining when and how to follow up on reported
+incidents, which may range from not taking action to permanent expulsion from
+the project and project-sponsored spaces. We will notify the accused of the
+report and provide them an opportunity to discuss it before any action is taken.
+The identity of the reporter will be omitted from the details of the report
+supplied to the accused. In potentially harmful situations, such as ongoing
+harassment or threats to anyone's safety, we may take action without notice.
