Writes a developer community's code of conduct and the moderation playbook behind it - scope, enforcement ladder, reporting channels, incident-response runbook, moderator roster, platform controls. Use whenever the user mentions a code of conduct, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, community moderation, moderator recruitment, an escalation ladder, banning or suspending a member, harassment, trolls, brigading, spam or AI-slop floods, or a conduct report they need to handle - including vaguer phrasings like "our Discord is getting out of hand", "we need community rules", or "someone reported a maintainer". Covers company-run and volunteer open-source communities. Do NOT use to pick the platform - use samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-community-launch.
