AutoGPT Contribution Guide

If you are reading this, you are probably looking for our contribution guide, which is part of our knowledge base.

In short

1. Avoid duplicate work, issues, PRs etc.
2. Also consider contributing something other than code; see the contribution guide for options.
3. Create a draft PR before starting work on non-small changes. Also post your proposal in the dev channel.
4. Clearly explain your changes when submitting a PR.
5. Don't submit stuff that's broken.
6. Avoid making unnecessary changes, especially if they're purely based on your personal preferences. Doing so is the maintainers' job.

Why instructions like these are necessary

We would like to say "We value all contributions". After all, we are an open-source project, so we should welcome any input that people are willing to give, right?

Well, the reality is that some contributions are SUPER-valuable, while others create more trouble than they are worth and actually create work for the core team. So to ensure maximum chances of a smooth ride, please stick to the guidelines.

If you wish to involve with the project (beyond just contributing PRs), please read the wiki catalyzing page.

In fact, why not just look through the whole wiki (it's only a few pages) and hop on our Discord. See you there! :-)
