Hi all

I am trying to register this package

> **[GitHub - avigliotti/Adiff.jl: A simple forward mode automatic differentiation...](https://github.com/avigliotti/Adiff.jl)**
>
> A simple forward mode automatic differentiation package - GitHub - avigliotti/Adiff.jl: A simple forward mode automatic differentiation package

and the automerge keeps failing saying that guidelines are not met, but I can’t figure out what is wrong

this is the pull request

> <https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/37911/checks>
>
> \- Registering package: Adiff
> \- Repository: https://github.com/avigliotti/Adiff.j…l
> \- Created by: @avigliotti

> \- Commit: d6988b59a7d8984b012792f75a3ed1a63ee65122
> \- Git reference: HEAD

this is the part with the error

Instead of looking at the logs, look at the well-formatted comment: [New package: Adiff v0.1.0 by JuliaRegistrator · Pull Request #37911 · JuliaRegistries/General · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/37911#issuecomment-851926825)
