+# Contributing
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing!
+
+## Requirements
+- **Go Version**: 1.26 or higher is required.
+- **Tools**: `golangci-lint` and `task` (Taskfile.dev) are recommended.
+
+## Development Workflow
+1. **Testing**: Ensure all tests pass before submitting changes.
+   ```bash
+   go test ./...
+   ```
+2. **Code Style**: All code must follow standard Go formatting.
+   ```bash
+   gofmt -w .
+   go vet ./...
+   ```
+3. **Linting**: We use `golangci-lint` to maintain code quality.
+   ```bash
+   golangci-lint run ./...
+   ```
+
+## Commit Message Format
+We follow the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) specification:
+- `feat`: A new feature
+- `fix`: A bug fix
+- `docs`: Documentation changes
+- `refactor`: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+- `chore`: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries
+
+Example: `feat: add new endpoint for health check`

 # go-ml
 
 ML inference backends, multi-suite scoring engine, and agent orchestrator for the Lethean AI stack. The package provides pluggable backends (Apple Metal via go-mlx, managed llama-server subprocesses, and OpenAI-compatible HTTP APIs), a concurrent scoring engine that evaluates model responses across heuristic, semantic, content, and standard benchmark suites, 23 capability probes, GGUF model management, and an SSH-based agent orchestrator that streams checkpoint evaluation results to InfluxDB and DuckDB.
