# Contributor Guide Skill
Most would-be contributors give up at setup friction or unclear expectations. A good `CONTRIBUTING.md` removes
the guesswork: how to get the project running, how to propose a change, what a mergeable PR looks like, and
where to ask. This skill writes that guide — welcoming, specific, and aimed at getting someone to a successful
**first PR**.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- **Project & stack** — what it is, language/framework, repo layout basics.
- **Dev setup** — how to clone, install, run locally, and run tests.
- **Workflow** — branch model, commit/PR conventions, where issues live, who reviews.
