How to Contribute

We welcome contributions to the SpecForge specification format.

RFC Process

Changes to the format follow an RFC process:

1. Open a GitHub Issue with the rfc tag
2. Community discussion period (2 weeks for minor, 4 weeks for major changes)
3. Maintainer reviews and accepts or rejects
4. Accepted RFCs are implemented via PR

What You Can Contribute

• Schema improvements — new fields, corrected types, better descriptions
• Examples — additional spec files demonstrating patterns
• Documentation — improvements to these docs
• Tooling — validators, editors, converters

What Does NOT Belong

• Engine-specific fields (workflow states, scoring, session tracking)
• SaaS-specific concepts (billing, permissions, team management)
• Features that only make sense for a single implementation

See CONTRIBUTING.md for full details.
