+# Contributing
+
+**First off, thank you for your support! **
+
+Here are some best practices to contribute to Eko:
+
+The Eko project is open to contributions. I am only a single person,
+so it may take some time to review your contributions. During this time
+I will be prioritizing bug fixes. Regardless, I appreciate your support!
+
+## Exploits
+
+If you find a security exploit, please report it privately to me (Kyren223 on discord).
+
+## Features
+
+For new features, please **open an issue** prior to creating a pull request. This
+allows me and the community to think about the change and provide feedback.
+
+## Refactoring
+
+If you are refactoring, please include a brief explanation for the changes and
+how it will improve the project.
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+If you are reporting a bug or creating a pull request, you must include clear
+steps to showcase the issue before and after. Tests are preferred, but steps to
+reproduce are also appreciated!
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+Contributions must pass all tests, and CI before merging. For me to
+review your PR, I need tests or a reproducible example to showcase all changes.
+
+If any of these are failing and you're struggling to debug the issue, please let
+us know in your PR, otherwise we will assume it is a WIP.
+
+Please only mark the pull request as "Ready for Review" when it is in fact
+complete and ready for review.
