-# Contributing / Development
-Instructions for development setup and upstreaming patches.
+# Contributing
 
-If you just want to build or package quickshell see [BUILD.md](BUILD.md).
+Thank you for taking the time to contribute.
+To ensure nobody's time is wasted, please follow the rules below.
 
-## Development
+## Acceptable Code Contributions
 
-Install the dependencies listed in [BUILD.md](BUILD.md).
-You probably want all of them even if you don't use all of them
-to ensure tests work correctly and avoid passing a bunch of configure
-flags when you need to wipe the build directory.
+- All changes submitted MUST be **fully understood by the submitter**. If you do not know why or how
+  your change works, do not submit it to be merged. You must be able to explain your reasoning
+  for every change.
 
-Quickshell also uses `just` for common development command aliases.
+- Changes MUST be submitted by a human who will be responsible for them. Changes submitted without
+  a human in the loop such as automated tooling and AI Agents are **strictly disallowed**. Accounts
+  responsible for such contribution attempts **will be banned**.
 
-The dependencies are also available as a nix shell or nix flake which we recommend
-using with nix-direnv.
+- Changes MUST respect Quickshell's license and the license of any source works. Changes including
+  code from any other works must disclose the source of the code, explain why it was used, and
+  ensure the license is compatible.
 
-Common aliases:
-- `just configure [<debug|release> [extra cmake args]]` (note that you must specify debug/release to specify extra args)
-- `just build` - runs the build, configuring if not configured already.
-- `just run [args]` - runs quickshell with the given arguments
-- `just clean` - clean up build artifacts. `just clean build` is somewhat common.
+- Changes must follow the guidelines outlined in [HACKING.md](HACKING.md) for style and substance.
 
-### Formatting
-All contributions should be formatted similarly to what already exists.
-Group related functionality together.
+- Changes must stand on their own as a unit. Do not make multiple unrelated changes in one PR.
+  Changes depending on prior merges should be marked as a draft.
 
-Run the formatter using `just fmt`.
-If the results look stupid, fix the clang-format file if possible,
-or disable clang-format in the affected area
-using `// clang-format off` and `// clang-format on`.
+## Acceptable Non-code Contributions
 
-#### Style preferences not caught by clang-format
-These are flexible. You can ignore them if it looks or works better to
-for one reason or another.
+- Bug and crash reports. You must follow the instructions in the issue templates and provide the
+  information requested.
 
-Use `auto` if the type of a variable can be deduced automatically, instead of
-redeclaring the returned value's type. Additionally, auto should be used when a
-constructor takes arguments.
+- Feature requests can be made via Issues. Please check to ensure nobody else has requested the same feature.
 
-```cpp
-auto x = <expr>; // ok
-auto x = QString::number(3); // ok
-QString x; // ok
-QString x = "foo"; // ok
-auto x = QString("foo"); // ok
+- Do not make insubstantial or pointless changes.
 
-auto x = QString(); // avoid
-QString x(); // avoid
-QString x("foo"); // avoid
-```
+- Changes to project rules / policy / governance will not be entertained, except from significant
+  long-term contributors. These changes should not be addressed through contribution channels.
 
-Put newlines around logical units of code, and after closing braces. If the
-most reasonable logical unit of code takes only a single line, it should be
-merged into the next single line logical unit if applicable.
-```cpp
-// multiple units
-auto x = <expr>; // unit 1
-auto y = <expr>; // unit 2
+## Merge timelines
 
-auto x = <expr>; // unit 1
-emit this->y(); // unit 2

-### Linter
-All contributions should pass the linter.
-
-Note that running the linter requires disabling precompiled
-headers and including the test codepaths:
-```sh
-$ just configure debug -DNO_PCH=ON -DBUILD_TESTING=ON
-$ just lint-changed
-```
-
-If the linter is complaining about something that you think it should not,
-please disable the lint in your MR and explain your reasoning if it isn't obvious.
-
-### Tests
-If you feel like the feature you are working on is very complex or likely to break,
-please write some tests. We will ask you to directly if you send in an MR for an
-overly complex or breakable feature.
-
-At least all tests that passed before your changes should still be passing
-by the time your contribution is ready.
-
-You can run the tests using `just test` but you must enable them first
-using `-DBUILD_TESTING=ON`.
-
-### Documentation
-Most of quickshell's documentation is automatically generated from the source code.
-You should annotate `Q_PROPERTY`s and `Q_INVOKABLE`s with doc comments. Note that the parser
-cannot handle random line breaks and will usually require you to disable clang-format if the
-lines are too long.
-
-Before submitting an MR, if adding new features please make sure the documentation is generated
-reasonably using the `quickshell-docs` repo. We recommend checking it out at `/docs` in this repo.
-
-Doc comments take the form `///` or `///!` (summary) and work with markdown.
-You can reference other types using the `@@[Module.][Type.][member]` shorthand
-where all parts are optional. If module or type are not specified they will
-be inferred as the current module. Member can be a `property`, `function()` or `signal(s)`.
-Look at existing code for how it works.
-
-Quickshell modules additionally have a `module.md` file which contains a summary, description,
-and list of headers to scan for documentation.
-
-## Contributing
-
-### Commits
-Please structure your commit messages as `scope[!]: commit` where
-the scope is something like `core` or `service/mpris`. (pick what has been
-used historically or what makes sense if new). Add `!` for changes that break
-existing APIs or functionality.
-
-Commit descriptions should contain a summary of the changes if they are not
-sufficiently addressed in the commit message.
-
-Please squash/rebase additions or edits to previous changes and follow the
-commit style to keep the history easily searchable at a glance.
-Depending on the change, it is often reasonable to squash it into just
-a single commit. (If you do not follow this we will squash your changes
-for you.)
-
-### Sending patches
-You may contribute by submitting a pull request on github, asking for
-an account on our git server, or emailing patches / git bundles
-directly to `outfoxxed@outfoxxed.me`.
-
-### Getting help
-If you're getting stuck, you can come talk to us in the
-[quickshell-development matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#quickshell-development:outfoxxed.me)
-for help on implementation, conventions, etc.
-Feel free to ask for advice early in your implementation if you are
-unsure.
+We handle work for the most part on a push basis. If your PR has been ignored for a while
+and is still relevant please bump it.

+If you're getting stuck, you can come talk to us in the
+[quickshell-development matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#quickshell-development:outfoxxed.me)
+for help on implementation, conventions, etc. There is also a bridged [discord server](https://discord.gg/UtZeT3xNyT).

-        If you have gdb installed and use systemd, or otherwise know how to get a backtrace,
-        we would appreciate one. (You may have gdb installed without knowing it)
-
-        1. Run `coredumpctl debug <pid>` where `pid` is the number shown after "Crashed process ID"
-        in the crash reporter.
-        2. Once it loads, type `bt -full` (then enter)
-        3. Copy the output and attach it as a file or in a spoiler.

-
-        Note: executable.txt is the quickshell binary. It has a .txt extension due to github's limitations on
-        filetypes.
