# Contributing

This docs section is the contributor-facing guide for the repository.

The project started as an internal Charles replacement, but the repo is being shaped so outside contributors can still understand:

* how to run the workspace
* where code belongs
* how to propose changes cleanly
* how releases are cut
* what review etiquette is expected

## Recommended reading order

1. [Quickstart](/quickstart) for local setup
2. [Environment](/environment) for runtime variables
3. [Contributor Architecture](/contributing/architecture) for repo shape
4. [Development](/development) for day-to-day standards
5. [Contribution Workflow](/contributing/workflow) before opening a PR
6. [Contributor Skills](/contributing/skills) for repo-local agent workflows
7. [Issue & PR Etiquette](/contributing/issue-pr-etiquette) before asking for review
8. [Release Process](/contributing/release-process) if your work affects shipping

## Current OSS posture

* The repo is public-facing in intent, but still product-heavy in terminology because it is replacing a live vendor dependency.
* The docs should explain current behavior, not only target architecture.
* Contributors should prefer small, reviewable changes over broad speculative refactors.
* Docs-only pull requests are welcome if they reduce ambiguity, tighten setup instructions, or clarify runtime contracts.

## Good first contribution areas

* Mintlify navigation and page clarity
* API and webhook contract documentation
* environment/setup accuracy
* Storybook coverage for new UI primitives
* tests around compatibility and runtime behavior
