Can anyone point me to a ShowHN first post policy documentation?

edit: project link is https://github.com/upwindchange/Autai

I had an open source project launching but I found out that I cannot make ShowHN post, the explanation given to me is very vague, I am not sure what should I do to get myself qualified? Is there some quantized instruction like "how many days the account should be registered" or "how many posts/comments/upvotes" the account should get qualified? Thank you for your guidance.

Can you tell us what the actual message is?

You can send an email to hn@ycombinator.com. They tend to respond promptly.

FYI, this is because a lot of ShowHN had turned into low quality slop. Not suggesting that it is, but if you do think your project could be slop, consider not posting it here.

This is not just the first stop in promoting your resume project or whatever random open source library. This is for showing _interesting_ projects to the community to get feedback.
