# How to contribute

Start by matching the product vocabulary in `CONTEXT.md`, then follow the package scripts in `package.json`. Most changes touch either the React controller/view layer in `frontend/src`, the Tauri command bridge in `src-tauri/src`, or the Rust core in `crates/qa-scribe-core/src`.

## Work pickup

1. Identify whether the change is a feature, core data-model change, provider change, UI change, release-tooling change, or test-only change.
2. Read the relevant feature page under [Features](features.md) and subsystem page under [Systems](systems.md).
3. For data-shape changes, update Rust domain types, Specta registration in `src-tauri/src/specta_bindings.rs`, generated `frontend/src/bindings.ts`, frontend wrapper code, and tests together.

## Definition of done

A finished change has updated code, updated bindings when needed, tests covering the behavior, and the relevant verification command passing. Use [Testing](how-to-contribute--testing.md) for command selection and [Tooling](how-to-contribute--tooling.md) for packaging and release checks.
