Repo Maintenance Sub-skill

Read this before modifying YOLOv3 source files, CI, dependencies, documentation, packaging metadata, or release/PR behavior.

Use

• Read references/maintenance.md for repo policy, CI smoke commands, branch/PR workflow, style, and dependency floors.
• Read references/troubleshooting.md for packaging, CI, and contribution pitfalls.

Important facts

• The default branch is master, not main.
• Core policy: less is more; Delete > Replace > Add; solve behavior in the owning code path.
• Keep Python >=3.8 and PyTorch >=1.8 compatibility.
• CI smoke tests use training, validation, detection, export, and PyTorch Hub paths, including network downloads for official weights and coco128.
• Do not rewrite intentional upstream YOLOv5 provenance links when they refer to issue/discussion numbers.
