# Contribution Guide

First of all, thank you for your interest in Mingling! 🎉 Whether it's fixing bugs, improving documentation, adding new features, or making suggestions, we welcome all contributions.

Before contributing, we recommend reading [README](README.md) to get an overview of the project.

## 2. Submission Guide

1. **Pull Request**

    - Submit a GitHub Pull Request and @Reviewer **[Weicao-CatilGrass](https://github.com/Weicao-CatilGrass)** for review
    - Or send patches to **catil_grass@qq.com**

2. **Commit Messages**
    - Clearly and concisely describe the changes, no stringent requirements
    - Provide more detail for complex changes, keep it brief for simple changes
    - But: if you use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/), it would make me even happier :)

3. **CHANGELOG**
    - If the submission includes functional changes or fixes, **the PR must include modifications to CHANGELOG.md** to describe the changes
    - For minor changes like typo fixes, **CHANGELOG.md modification is not required**, and we will merge faster

4. **Multi-commit PR**

    - A PR can contain multiple commits
    - However, at least one commit must modify CHANGELOG.md

5. **Review**
    - After submission, please notify [Weicao-CatilGrass](https://github.com/Weicao-CatilGrass) for review — this is the most efficient way to get feedback

6. **Binary Resources**
    - For binary resource files (images, etc.), please be cautious about adding them to avoid repository bloat

## 3. Documentation Contribution

### Documentation Location

- English documentation: `docs/pages/`
- Chinese documentation: `docs/_zh_CN/pages/`

### Documentation Build

After editing documentation, refresh relevant files:

```bash
# Refresh sidebar and README sync
./run-tools.sh docsify-sidebar-gen
./run-tools.sh refresh-docs

# Fix code block blank line issues
./run-tools.sh docs-code-box-fix
```

These steps are included in `cargo ci`; running `cargo ci` will execute them automatically.

> [!TIP]
> You can check the [ABOUT CI](./ABOUT-CI.md) section to learn how "Mingling CI" works.

## 4. Regarding AI Agent Usage

- You are free to use AI agents to assist development — no restrictions
- **Humans are the final decision-makers**, everything is subject to human judgment
- Please **DO NOT** leave AI instruction files like `CLAUDE.md` in the repository root. Mingling currently has no plans to introduce **Harness Engineering**
