-# Nuclei Discussion Guidelines
-
-## Before Creating a Discussion
-
-1. **Search existing discussions and issues** to avoid duplicates
-2. **Check the documentation** and README first
-3. **Browse the FAQ** and common questions
-
-## Bug Reports in Discussions
-
-When reporting a bug in [Q&A Discussions](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/discussions/categories/q-a), please include:
-
-### Required Information:
- **Clear title** with `[BUG]` prefix (e.g., "[BUG] Nuclei crashes when...")
- **Current behavior** - What's happening now?
- **Expected behavior** - What should happen instead?
- **Steps to reproduce** - Commands or actions that trigger the issue
- **Environment details**:
-  - OS and version
-  - Nuclei version (`nuclei -version`)
-  - Go version (if installed via `go install`)
- **Log output** - Run with `-verbose` or `-debug` for detailed logs
- **Redact sensitive information** - Remove target URLs, credentials, etc.
-
-### After Discussion:
- Maintainers will review and validate the bug report
- Valid bugs will be converted to issues with proper labels and tracking
- Questions and misconfigurations will be resolved in the discussion
-
-## Feature Requests in Discussions
-
-When requesting a feature in [Ideas Discussions](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/discussions/categories/ideas), please include:
-
-### Required Information:
- **Clear title** with `[FEATURE]` prefix (e.g., "[FEATURE] Add support for...")
- **Feature description** - What do you want to be added?
- **Use case** - Why is this feature needed? What problem does it solve?
- **Implementation ideas** - If you have suggestions on how it could work
- **Alternatives considered** - What other solutions have you thought about?
-
-### After Discussion:
- Community and maintainers will discuss the feasibility
- Popular and viable features will be converted to issues
- Similar features may be grouped together
- Rejected features will be explained in the discussion
-
-## Getting Help
-
-For general questions, troubleshooting, and "how-to" topics:
- Use [Q&A Discussions](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/discussions/categories/q-a)
- Join the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/projectdiscovery) #nuclei channel
- Check existing discussions for similar questions
-
-## Discussion to Issue Conversion Process
-
-Only maintainers can convert discussions to issues. The process:
-
-1. **Validation** - Maintainers review the discussion for completeness and validity
-2. **Classification** - Determine if it's a bug, feature, enhancement, etc.
-3. **Issue creation** - Create a properly formatted issue with appropriate labels
-4. **Linking** - Link the issue back to the original discussion
-5. **Resolution** - Mark the discussion as resolved or close it
-
-This process ensures:
- High-quality issues that are actionable
- Proper triage and labeling
- Reduced noise in the issue tracker
- Community involvement in the validation process
-
-## Why This Process?
-
- **Better organization** - Issues contain only validated, actionable items
- **Community input** - Discussions allow for community feedback before escalation
- **Quality control** - Maintainers ensure proper formatting and information
- **Reduced maintenance** - Fewer invalid or duplicate issues to manage
- **Clear separation** - Questions vs. actual bugs/features are clearly distinguished

-# Issue Template References
-
-## Overview
-
-This folder contains the preserved issue templates that are **not** directly accessible to users. These templates serve as references for maintainers when converting discussions to issues.
-
-## New Workflow
-
-### For Users:
-1. **All reports start in Discussions** - Users cannot create issues directly
-2. Bug reports go to [Q&A Discussions](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/discussions/categories/q-a)
-3. Feature requests go to [Ideas Discussions](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/discussions/categories/ideas)
-4. This helps filter out duplicate questions, invalid reports, and ensures proper triage
-
-### For Maintainers:
-1. **Review discussions** in both Q&A and Ideas categories
-2. **Validate the reports** - ensure they're actual bugs/valid feature requests
-3. **Use reference templates** when converting discussions to issues:
-   - Copy content from `bug-report-reference.yml` or `feature-request-reference.yml`
-   - Create a new issue manually with the appropriate template structure
-   - Link back to the original discussion
-   - Close the discussion or mark it as resolved
-
-## Benefits
-
- **Better triage**: Avoid cluttering issues with questions and invalid reports
- **Community involvement**: Discussions allow for community input before creating issues
- **Quality control**: Maintainers can ensure issues follow proper format and contain necessary information
- **Reduced noise**: Only validated, actionable items become issues
-
-## Reference Templates
-
- `bug-report-reference.yml` - Use when converting bug reports from discussions to issues
- `feature-request-reference.yml` - Use when converting feature requests from discussions to issues
-
-## Converting a Discussion to Issue
-
-1. Identify a valid discussion that needs to become an issue
-2. Go to the main repository's Issues tab
-3. Click "New Issue"
-4. Manually create the issue using the reference template structure
-5. Include all relevant information from the discussion
-6. Add a comment linking back to the original discussion
-7. Apply appropriate labels
-8. Close or mark the discussion as resolved with a link to the created issue

-# CLAUDE.md
-
-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
-
-## Project Overview
-
-Nuclei is a modern, high-performance vulnerability scanner built in Go that leverages YAML-based templates for customizable vulnerability detection. It supports multiple protocols (HTTP, DNS, TCP, SSL, WebSocket, WHOIS, JavaScript, Code) and is designed for zero false positives through real-world condition simulation.
-
-## Development Commands
-
-### Building and Testing
- `make build` - Build the main nuclei binary to ./bin/nuclei
- `make test` - Run unit tests with race detection
- `make integration` - Run integration tests (builds and runs test suite)
- `make functional` - Run functional tests
- `make vet` - Run go vet for code analysis
- `make tidy` - Clean up go modules
-
-### Validation and Linting
- `make template-validate` - Validate nuclei templates using the built binary
- `go fmt ./...` - Format Go code
- `go vet ./...` - Static analysis
-
-### Development Tools
- `make devtools-all` - Build all development tools (bindgen, tsgen, scrapefuncs)
- `make jsupdate-all` - Update JavaScript bindings and TypeScript definitions
- `make docs` - Generate documentation
- `make memogen` - Generate memoization code for JavaScript libraries
-
-### Testing Specific Components
- Run single test: `go test -v ./pkg/path/to/package -run TestName`
- Integration tests are in `integration_tests/` and can be run via `make integration`
-
-## Architecture Overview
-
-### Core Components
- **cmd/nuclei** - Main CLI entry point with flag parsing and configuration
- **internal/runner** - Core runner that orchestrates the entire scanning process
- **pkg/core** - Execution engine with work pools and template clustering
- **pkg/templates** - Template parsing, compilation, and management
- **pkg/protocols** - Protocol implementations (HTTP, DNS, Network, etc.)
- **pkg/operators** - Matching and extraction logic (matchers/extractors)
- **pkg/catalog** - Template discovery and loading from disk/remote sources
-
-### Protocol Architecture
-Each protocol (HTTP, DNS, Network, etc.) implements:
- Request interface with Compile(), ExecuteWithResults(), Match(), Extract() methods
- Operators embedding for matching/extraction functionality
- Protocol-specific request building and execution logic
-
-### Template System
- Templates are YAML files defining vulnerability detection logic
- Compiled into executable requests with operators (matchers/extractors)
- Support for workflows (multistep template execution)
- Template clustering optimizes identical requests across multiple templates
-
-### Key Execution Flow
-1. Template loading and compilation via pkg/catalog/loader
-2. Input provider setup for targets
-3. Engine creation with work pools for concurrency
-4. Template execution with result collection via operators
-5. Output writing and reporting integration
-
-### JavaScript Integration
- Custom JavaScript runtime for code protocol templates
- Auto-generated bindings in pkg/js/generated/
- Library implementations in pkg/js/libs/
- Development tools for binding generation in pkg/js/devtools/
-
-## Template Development
- Templates located in separate nuclei-templates repository
- YAML format with info, requests, and operators sections  
- Support for multiple protocol types in single template
- Built-in DSL functions for dynamic content generation
- Template validation available via `make template-validate`
-
-## Key Directories
- **lib/** - SDK for embedding nuclei as a library
- **examples/** - Usage examples for different scenarios
- **integration_tests/** - Integration test suite with protocol-specific tests
- **pkg/fuzz/** - Fuzzing engine and DAST capabilities
- **pkg/input/** - Input processing for various formats (Burp, OpenAPI, etc.)
- **pkg/reporting/** - Result export and issue tracking integrations
