+# Contributor Guide
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Select or open a research issue.
+2. Create a focused branch from `main`.
+3. Add code, positive and negative tests, and documentation.
+4. Run `python scripts/verify.py`.
+5. Open a pull request and describe security, privacy, and research limitations.
+6. Address review findings before merge.
+
+## Safety requirements
+
+Do not commit live credentials, personal information, proprietary artifacts, executable malware, or weaponized payloads. Rules may not execute inspected content, access the network, mutate source artifacts, or include matched credential values in reports.
+
+## Research integrity
+
+State what the evidence demonstrates and what it does not. Preserve failed and ambiguous cases. Do not generalize synthetic-corpus metrics to production systems.
