Custom properties

Custom properties allow you to decorate your repository with information such as compliance frameworks, data sensitivity, or project details.

active
Where the repo is in its life. 'deprecated' and 'archived' are excluded from all rulesets so dead repos do not generate noise.
standard
How strictly the default branch is governed. Drives the org branch rulesets. 'standard' is the default so untagged repos are protected automatically; only tag the exceptions.
library
What kind of artifact the repo produces. Inventory / discovery only today; can be used to target rulesets later (e.g. required checks for type=service).
shared
Owning team / domain. Inventory and CODEOWNERS hygiene; can drive team-scoped rulesets later.
