Contributing reference

Contribution guidance and the current repository rules.

Browse Docs pages

CONTRIBUTING.md contains contribution guidance for content, templates, commits, and generated artifacts. Use the root AGENTS.md and the command development guide for current requirements.

Current conventions

Keep generated output, logs, and release archives out of source commits. Use the active layout's content and template directories. Content frontmatter uses --- delimiters. Scripts are Bash, not POSIX shell.

Older instructions

The root contribution guide still includes historical examples using verify and record; neither is a dispatcher command. Its *** frontmatter example is not the current YAML contract. Use bash rotkeeper.sh help for supported commands and run the validation required by the operating manual before submitting a change.
