+# 🌍 Code of Conduct
+
+## 1. Purpose
+
+Welcome to our open-source community!  
+We are committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of background, experience, or identity.  
+This Code of Conduct outlines the expectations for all contributors, maintainers, and participants to ensure a positive and productive collaboration experience — especially during community-driven events such as **Hacktoberfest**.
+
+Our goal is to build a community where learning, contribution, and mutual respect thrive.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Guiding Principles
+
+We believe in the following values:
+
+- **Respect**: Treat everyone with kindness and empathy.  
+- **Openness**: Share knowledge freely and welcome diverse opinions.  
+- **Collaboration**: Work together constructively and avoid hostility.  
+- **Integrity**: Contribute honestly without misrepresentation.  
+- **Growth**: Support new contributors and encourage learning.  
+- **Community First**: Prioritize collective success over personal gain.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Expected Behavior
+
+We expect all participants to:
+
+1. **Be Respectful and Inclusive**  
+   - Use inclusive language and be considerate of differing viewpoints.  
+   - Welcome newcomers and support those who are less experienced.  
+   - Value diversity in ideas, people, and perspectives.
+
+2. **Be Collaborative**  
+   - Seek consensus and constructive feedback.  
+   - Help resolve conflicts gracefully.  
+   - Give credit where it is due.
+
+3. **Demonstrate Integrity**  
+   - Submit meaningful and original contributions.  
+   - Refrain from plagiarism, spam, or irrelevant pull requests (especially during Hacktoberfest).  
+   - Acknowledge mistakes and learn from them.
+
+4. **Be Professional**  
+   - Avoid offensive, discriminatory, or threatening language.  
+   - Maintain professionalism in all discussions, comments, and pull requests.  
+   - Keep project communication channels (GitHub, Discord, forums) civil and on-topic.
+
+5. **Ensure Constructive Communication**  
+   - Use clear and concise language.  
+   - Provide context when asking questions or suggesting changes.  
+   - Accept that others may disagree — and that’s okay.
