Research direction

Start with the README and git log to identify where to link the guide and the repository’s commit message style. Follow the existing setup instructions and run tdk up to confirm the validation steps. Done means CONTRIBUTING.md takes someone from a clean clone through a passing check and explains the branch and PR flow.

Description

area: community difficulty: easy good first issue hacktoberfest help wanted

tdk-example has no CONTRIBUTING.md on main, so a new contributor has to guess how to set up, check, and open a PR.

To do

  • Add CONTRIBUTING.md covering: install steps, how to validate a change (tdk up), branch and PR flow, and the commit message style the repo already uses (check git log).
  • Link it from the README.

Done when: someone new can go from a clean clone to a passing check by following only this file.
