# Contributing
Thanks for your interest in contributing to TREK! Here are the guidelines for submitting pull requests.
## Before You Start
- **Ask in Discord first** — Before writing any code, pitch your idea in the `#github-pr` channel on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/NhZBDSd4qW). We'll let you know if the PR is wanted and give direction. PRs without prior approval will be closed
- **Check existing issues** — Look for open issues or discussions before starting work
- **Target the `dev` branch** — All PRs must be opened against `dev`, not `main`. Exception: PRs that only modify files under `wiki/` may target any branch
- **One thing per PR** — Keep PRs focused on a single change. Don't bundle unrelated fixes
## Pull Request Guidelines
### Code Quality
- Write clean, readable code that matches the existing style
- No unnecessary abstractions or over-engineering
- Don't add features beyond what was discussed in the issue
- Don't add comments unless the logic isn't self-evident
- Don't add error handling for scenarios that can't happen
### What We Look For
- **Does it solve the stated problem?** — The PR should match the issue it addresses
- **Is it minimal?** — No extra refactoring, no "while I'm here" changes
- **Does it break anything?** — Breaking changes are not acceptable
- **Is the code clean?** — Consistent style, no debug logs, no dead code
### Commit Messages
Use conventional commits:
```
fix(component): short description of what was fixed
feat(component): short description of new feature
```
### PR Description
Follow the template provided by default (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md).
### What Will Get Your PR Closed
- PRs that weren't discussed and approved in `#github-pr` on Discord first
- PRs that add unnecessary complexity (e.g. a redo button when undo already exists)
- PRs with breaking changes
- PRs that change code style or formatting across unrelated files
- PRs that add dependencies without justification
