+# Contributing to webpack.js.org
+
+Welcome, and thank you for helping improve webpack's documentation! This repository holds the hand-written content and the build tooling behind [webpack.js.org](https://webpack.js.org).
+
+We hope this guide helps you find the right kind of contribution and get productive quickly, however, you should also check out other guide-like resources in this repository:
+
+- The [Writer's Guide](pages/guides/contributing/writers-guide.md)
+- The [README](README.md)
+- webpack's [AI policy](https://github.com/webpack/governance/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md)
+
+## Does your change belong here?
+
+The website assembles content from several sources, so the first step is confirming you are in the right place:
+
+| You want to change…                                        | Go to…                                                       |
+| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Guides, blog posts, or other hand-written pages (`pages/`) | **This repository**                                          |
+| The build tooling, API doc generation, or site theme       | **This repository**                                          |
+| Generated API reference pages (`/docs/api/`)               | [webpack/webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack)        |
+| Loader or plugin reference pages                           | The README of that loader or plugin's repository             |
+| The Markdown-to-HTML engine itself                         | [nodejs/doc-kit](https://github.com/nodejs/doc-kit)          |
+| webpack's actual behavior                                  | [webpack/webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues) |
+
+When in doubt, [ask in the webpack Discord](https://discord.com/invite/webpack) and we will point you in the right direction.
+
+## Writing and improving documentation
+
+**Read the [Writer's Guide](pages/guides/contributing/writers-guide.md).**
+
+If you want to write something but don't know what, look through [open issues](https://github.com/webpack/webpack.js.org/issues) labeled `documentation`, or start a discussion proposing the topic before investing significant writing time.
+
+## Working on the tooling
+
+The generator code lives in `scripts/` (pipeline stages) and `plugins/` (TypeDoc processing and the doc-kit theme). Start with the [README](README.md) — it explains the three-stage pipeline (prepare → Markdown → HTML) and what each script does.
+
+The site is built on [@node-core/doc-kit](https://github.com/nodejs/doc-kit). Improvements to the engine itself (Markdown parsing, core rendering) belong upstream; the theme and plugins in this repository customize it for webpack.
+
+## Local development
+
+You need the latest LTS release of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (CI uses `lts/*`) and npm.
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/webpack.js.org.git
+cd webpack.js.org
+npm ci
+npm run build
+```
+
+In the above example, `npm run build` runs the whole pipeline (it downloads the webpack releases in `versions.json` and generates their API docs), so it takes a few minutes. After that, if you are only editing hand-written pages, regenerate just the HTML:
+
+```sh
+npm run build:html
+```
+
+The site is written to `out/` with absolute URLs that expect `http://localhost:3000`, so serve it on that port:
+
+```sh
+npx serve out -l 3000 # Port 3000 is default, but it never hurts to be explicit.
+```
+
+## Opening a pull request
+
+1. Create a branch on your fork, and try to keep each pull request focused on one change.
+2. Follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) for commit messages (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `chore:`…).
+3. A pre-commit hook formats and lints staged files. You can run the same checks yourself with `npm run lint` and `npm run format:check`.
+4. If you used AI tooling, read and follow the [AI policy](https://github.com/webpack/governance/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md).
+5. A maintainer will review your pull request after it is opened.
+

 ## Contributing
 
+See the [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) for setup instructions, project conventions, and guidance on where issues belong (this repository, [doc-kit](https://github.com/nodejs/doc-kit), or [webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack)).
+
 When making changes to documentation generation (plugins, `scripts/markdown/index.mjs`, `tsconfig.json`), ensure the docs can still be generated successfully. CI will verify this on every pull request.
