Context

Issue #6 asked for a README built off "our template" (logo + description), extended with contribution instructions, plus a repo description and a PR checklist. The README has already been substantially rewritten since the issue was filed and covers most of this; this PR closes the remaining gaps: a logo header, per-example live demo links, a CONTRIBUTING.md for the easy-to-miss frameworks.json registration step, a lightweight PR template, and a root AGENTS.md so AI agents follow the same template.

Types of changes

  • New example
  • Update to an existing example
  • README / documentation change
  • Demo runner (runner/) change
  • CI / tooling change

How was this verified?

Verified the ?example=<folder-name> demo URL scheme against runner/apps/authoring/src/App.tsx and runner/config/frameworks.json before adding a link per row (all 16 client-example slugs match their folder names exactly). Rendered the README locally to confirm the <picture> logo and the new table column don't break formatting. Grepped for the em dash character across all four touched/added files to confirm none remain.

Checklist

  • New/renamed example: added to runner/config/frameworks.json (see CONTRIBUTING.md); otherwise it won't appear on demos.handsontable.com. N/A, no new example in this PR.
  • New example: added a row to the tables in README.md. N/A, no new example in this PR.
  • Ran pnpm build (and pnpm dev) in the affected example/server-example locally. N/A, this PR only touches README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md, and .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation and GitHub templates only; no runtime, CI, or example code changes.

Overview
Closes contributor-facing gaps from issue #6 by documenting how to add examples and standardizing PRs, plus a README refresh for discoverability.

README gets a centered logo/header with nav links, a Live demo column on the client-examples table (demos.handsontable.com/?example=<slug>), a Contributing section pointing at the new guide, and minor copy/punctuation cleanup (no em dashes).

New docs: CONTRIBUTING.md walks through self-contained examples, CI discovery via build + pnpm-lock.yaml, README table rows, and the silent failure if runner/config/frameworks.json is not updated (plus Tier-2 container prep and import.mjs). .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md adds checklists for change type, verification, and frameworks.json/README/build steps. AGENTS.md (and CLAUDE.md alias) tells humans and agents to follow CONTRIBUTING and always fill the PR template.

Closes most of the outstanding work in #6. Adds a logo header and live
demo links to the client examples table in README.md, splits out a
CONTRIBUTING.md covering the easy-to-miss frameworks.json registration
step for new examples, adds a lightweight PR template adapted from the
main handsontable repo's (dropping the CLA/changelog/wrapper checks
that don't apply here), and a root AGENTS.md so AI agents follow the
same PR template.
