+    ## How to Contribute
+
+    ### Reporting Bugs
+
+    **Before reporting**:
+    1. Search existing issues
+    2. Check if it's already fixed in `main`
+    3. Determine which perimeter the bug affects
+
+    **When reporting**:
+
+    Use the [bug report template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md) and include:
+
+    - Clear, descriptive title
+    - Environment details (OS, versions, toolchain)
+    - Steps to reproduce
+    - Expected vs actual behaviour
+    - Logs, screenshots, or minimal reproduction
+
+    ### Suggesting Features
+
+    **Before suggesting**:
+    1. Check the [roadmap](ROADMAP.md) if available
+    2. Search existing issues and discussions
+    3. Consider which perimeter the feature belongs to
+
+    **When suggesting**:
+
+    Use the [feature request template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md) and include:
+
+    - Problem statement (what pain point does this solve?)
+    - Proposed solution
+    - Alternatives considered
+    - Which perimeter this affects
+
