+# Contributing
+
+Contributions are always welcome!
+
+Before opening a pull request, please keep the following in mind:
+
+- Keep PRs small and focused on a single topic.
+- Discuss large architectural changes before implementing them.
+- Follow the project's existing coding style.
+- Do not submit generated code unless you fully understand and can maintain it.
+- Do not introduce Sony proprietary code, firmware, keys, decrypted assets, or other copyrighted PlayStation materials.
+- All reverse engineering should be based on publicly available information, clean-room techniques, or your own original research.
+- Game-specific hacks should be avoided whenever possible. Prefer generic implementations that improve overall compatibility.
+- New features should not break existing behavior.
+- Ensure the project builds successfully before submitting a PR.
+
+If you're unsure about a design decision, feel free to open a discussion or draft PR first.
+
+## AI-Assisted Contributions
+
+AI-assisted development is welcome and may be used for research, reverse engineering, code generation, or documentation.
+
+However, contributors are expected to fully understand every line of code they submit. By opening a pull request, you confirm that you are able to explain, modify, debug, and maintain the submitted code without relying on the AI that generated it.
+
+When submitting an AI-assisted PR:
+
+- Clearly explain **what the change does**, **why it is needed**, and **what problem it solves**, using your own words.
+- Describe **how you verified the change**, including the games, applications, or test cases used.
+- Avoid excessive product-level logging. Use logging only when it provides meaningful diagnostic value.
+- Comments should document design decisions or implementation details in your own words. Avoid generic AI-generated comments that merely restate what the code already does.
+- Be prepared to answer review questions about the implementation. "The AI generated it" is not considered a sufficient explanation.
+- Large AI-generated changes without a clear understanding of the implementation are unlikely to be accepted.
+- If the implementation cannot be reasonably explained during code review, the pull request may be rejected regardless of whether it works.
+
+The quality, correctness, maintainability, and long-term ownership of the submitted code remain the responsibility of the contributor.
+
+## Coding Style
+
+SharpEmu follows a consistent coding style across the project. Please ensure your contributions match the existing style.
+
+- Use **4 spaces** for indentation (no tabs).
+- Use **2 spaces** for XML-based files (e.g. `.csproj`, `.props`, `.targets`, `.xml`, `yml`, GitHub workflow files where applicable).
+- Respect the project's `.editorconfig`.
+- Ensure every text file ends with a **single trailing newline**
+- Avoid formatting-only commits unless they are the purpose of the PR.
+- Keep naming, formatting, and file organization consistent with the surrounding code.
+- Prefer small, focused changes over large refactors.
+
+### REUSE Compliance
+
+This repository follows the REUSE Specification.
+
+Every new file must contain the appropriate SPDX license header. Pull requests that do not comply with the project's REUSE requirements will fail CI and will not be merged.
+
+### Recommended Development Environment
+
+The repository includes an `.editorconfig` and Visual Studio solution files.
+
+For the best experience, we recommend using:
+
+- Visual Studio Code with;
+  - C#
+  - C# Dev Kit
+
+Most editors that support `.editorconfig` will automatically apply the project's formatting rules.
