# Contributing

> Expectations for code, specifications, tests, and documentation.

Contributions should preserve the clarity of FastQL's public contracts.

1. Describe behavioral work through OpenSpec before implementation.
2. Keep public Python APIs consistent with GraphQL terminology and existing decorator
   patterns.
3. Add focused tests for new behavior and regression tests for fixes.
4. Update user guides, references, architecture pages, and capability links when the
   public surface changes.
5. Run Python, documentation, and OpenSpec validation before requesting review.

Avoid unrelated refactors in feature changes. New abstractions should remove real
complexity or encode a stable concept already present in multiple parts of the system.

Use the issue tracker for concrete defects and scoped feature discussions. Security
issues should not be disclosed through a public issue.
