# Contributing

Read `.opencode/contributing/SKILL.md` for the canonical contribution checklist.

Codex-specific execution notes:

- For commits, pushes, PR creation, PR updates, and CI closeout, load `.agents/skills/commit-pr/SKILL.md`.
- For test execution details, load `.agents/skills/running-tests/SKILL.md`.
- For test authoring, load `.agents/skills/writing-tests/SKILL.md`.
- For invariant-sensitive changes, load `.agents/skills/engineering-conventions/SKILL.md`.

Do not hand-edit release-please-owned files. User-visible PRs need a pending release fragment under `docs/releases/pending/`.
