# Contributing

Use this repository for improvements to public integration instructions, client recipes, examples, and the portable skill.

Before proposing a change:

1. Keep it inside the public integration boundary. Do not include production source, private receipts, credentials, local paths, account identifiers, private incidents, or unpublished research.
2. Link current first-party client documentation and record the date checked.
3. Distinguish `documented`, `configuration parsed`, `connection tested`, and `read/write flow tested`. Do not promote one state into another.
4. Use placeholders or environment-variable references for credentials. Never commit a working bearer.
5. Preserve the core rules: search before rediscovering; report only after an observable execution; replay the same logical operation after an ambiguous timeout.

Open an issue before adding a new runtime dependency. The examples intentionally use only standard library or built-in web APIs.
