# Contributing to Cloudreve

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Cloudreve!

The full contributing guide — including project structure, development environment
setup, how to pick a task, how to submit a PR, and our AIGC (AI-generated code)
policy — is maintained in our documentation site:

**👉 https://docs.cloudreve.org/api/contributing**

A few key points to keep in mind before you open a PR:

- Cloudreve is dual-licensed. We only accept contributions to the **community
  edition**, and all contributors must sign the
  [CLA](https://cla-assistant.io/cloudreve/cloudreve) before a PR can be merged.
- **PRs must be linked to an issue labeled with `Backlog`.** We do not accept
  new features proposed directly through a PR. If you have a new idea, please
  open an issue first and wait for it to be triaged and labeled.
- **Each PR should correspond to a single change.** Please split large features
  or refactors into multiple smaller PRs whenever possible.
- If you use AI tools to help write code, please read the
  [AIGC Guidelines](https://docs.cloudreve.org/api/contributing#aigc-guidelines)
  first. We are not against AI, but we do not accept pure "vibe-coded" PRs.
