+# Contributing to AutoPowerMode
+
+Thanks for helping improve AutoPowerMode. Contributions are welcome through
+GitHub issues and pull requests.
+
+## Before you start
+
+- Search existing issues and pull requests before opening a new one.
+- Do not report security vulnerabilities in a public issue. Follow
+  [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) instead.
+- Remove personal paths, logs, configuration files, and other sensitive data
+  from diagnostic output before sharing it.
+
+## Development environment
+
+- .NET 8 SDK
+- Windows 10 or later for running the application and the Windows UI smoke
+  test
+- A non-Windows development machine can build the Windows-targeted solution
+  and run the logic tests, but cannot run the Windows UI smoke test locally.
+
+Useful commands from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+dotnet restore AutoPowerMode.sln
+dotnet format AutoPowerMode.sln --verify-no-changes
+dotnet build AutoPowerMode.sln --configuration Release
+dotnet run --project tests/AutoPowerMode.Tests/AutoPowerMode.Tests.csproj --configuration Release
+# Windows only:
+dotnet run --project tests/AutoPowerMode.WindowsUi.Tests/AutoPowerMode.WindowsUi.Tests.csproj --configuration Release
+```
+
+## Pull requests
+
+- Keep each pull request focused on one coherent change.
+- Add or update tests for behavior changes.
+- Update `README.md`, `README.zh-CN.md`, or `CHANGELOG.md` when user-facing
+  behavior changes.
+- Explain the validation you ran and call out any Windows-only validation you
+  could not perform.
+- Do not commit `bin/`, `obj/`, `release/`, `publish/`, `dist/`, PDB files,
+  logs, local configuration, or secrets.
+
+GitHub Actions runs formatting, logic tests, and the Windows Settings UI smoke
+test for pull requests.

 The logic tests cover configuration migration, independently configurable dual-rate monitoring, idle protections, language selection and persistence, power-plan parsing, switch policies, notifications, DPI layout, log rotation and path sanitization, startup registration, and external override protection. The Windows-only smoke test opens the localized Settings form and exercises both wide and compact layouts.
