upstream-contribution

Contribute from a fork to a repository you do not own without burning maintainer trust. Use when the working repo has an `upstream` remote, when the user says "open a PR against <someone else's repo>", or before the first commit in any repo the user is a guest in.

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Upstream contribution

This repo is not yours. It belongs to its maintainers, with their own queue, their own conventions and their own history of unmerged good intentions. Act like a guest.

Remotes

origin is your fork. upstream is the project, and its push URL is set to no_push:

git remote set-url --push upstream no_push
git remote -v          # origin = fork, upstream = project (no_push)

The remote you type by reflex is the one that is safe to push to. Never commit to local main — keep it a clean mirror of upstream so rebases stay trivial:

git fetch upstream && git checkout main && git reset --hard upstream/main

Issue before code

For anything larger than a bug fix or a doc correction, open an issue and wait for a maintainer response before writing the implementation. Most projects have a graveyard of large unsolicited PRs. Volume of code is not what gets merged; agreement beforehand is.

Use the repo's issue templates. If the work is speculative, say so.

Branch and PR scope

Branch names: <issue-number>-brief-description when an issue exists, otherwise <area>-brief-description.
One concern per PR. Every file in the diff traces to the declared issue. Split an oversized PR before requesting review, not after.
Never change a default silently. The project runs inside other people's production. New behaviour arrives as a new parameter whose default preserves today's behaviour exactly.
Never bundle a refactor with a fix. An open "make it DRY" issue is not a licence to tidy code you happened to be near.
A return-type change is a breaking change, including swapping a third-party type for your own. Say so honestly in the PR; getting it wrong is how trust is lost.
Sweeping changes (docs, type hints, lint) go one module family per PR. A fifty-file sweep is unreviewable and will sit.

Before opening the PR

Run the project's own gates exactly as CI runs them; the verification.md rule applies with extra force here. Fill in the PR template's sections and delete none. Use the labels the project's release tooling reads; do not fight auto-labels.

Where the contributing guide actually lives

CONTRIBUTING.md is often a stub. Treat the CI workflow file, the lint config, the PR template and an existing module of the same kind as the in-repo sources of truth. If the real guide is behind a site that blocks fetches, a human opens it; do not guess at its contents.

Community

If the project has a chat or a regular contributor call, asking there is cheaper than a rejected PR.

# Upstream contribution

**This repo is not yours.** It belongs to its maintainers, with their own queue, their own
conventions and their own history of unmerged good intentions. Act like a guest.

## Remotes

`origin` is **your fork**. `upstream` is the project, and its push URL is set to `no_push`:

```bash
git remote set-url --push upstream no_push
git remote -v # origin = fork, upstream = project (no_push)
```

The remote you type by reflex is the one that is safe to push to. **Never commit to local
`main`** — keep it a clean mirror of upstream so rebases stay trivial:

```bash
git fetch upstream && git checkout main && git reset --hard upstream/main
```

## Issue before code

For anything larger than a bug fix or a doc correction, **open an issue and wait for a
maintainer response before writing the implementation.** Most projects have a graveyard of
large unsolicited PRs. Volume of code is not what gets merged; agreement beforehand is.

Use the repo's issue templates. If the work is speculative, say so.

## Branch and PR scope

- Branch names: `<issue-number>-brief-description` when an issue exists, otherwise
`<area>-brief-description`.
- **One concern per PR.** Every file in the diff traces to the declared issue. Split an
oversized PR before requesting review, not after.
- **Never change a default silently.** The project runs inside other people's production. New
behaviour arrives as a new parameter whose default preserves today's behaviour exactly.
- **Never bundle a refactor with a fix.** An open "make it DRY" issue is not a licence to tidy
code you happened to be near.
- **A return-type change is a breaking change**, including swapping a third-party type for
your own. Say so honestly in the PR; getting it wrong is how trust is lost.
- Sweeping changes (docs, type hints, lint) go one module family per PR. A fifty-file sweep is

## Where the contributing guide actually lives

`CONTRIBUTING.md` is often a stub. Treat the CI workflow file, the lint config, the PR template

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Overview

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Upstream contribution

This repo is not yours. It belongs to its maintainers, with their own queue, their own conventions and their own history of unmerged good intentions. Act like a guest.

Remotes

origin is your fork. upstream is the project, and its push URL is set to no_push:

git remote set-url --push upstream no_push
git remote -v          # origin = fork, upstream = project (no_push)

The remote you type by reflex is the one that is safe to push to. Never commit to local main — keep it a clean mirror of upstream so rebases stay trivial:

git fetch upstream && git checkout main && git reset --hard upstream/main

Issue before code

Use the repo's issue templates. If the work is speculative, say so.

Branch and PR scope

Branch names: <issue-number>-brief-description when an issue exists, otherwise <area>-brief-description.
One concern per PR. Every file in the diff traces to the declared issue. Split an oversized PR before requesting review, not after.
Never change a default silently. The project runs inside other people's production. New behaviour arrives as a new parameter whose default preserves today's behaviour exactly.
Never bundle a refactor with a fix. An open "make it DRY" issue is not a licence to tidy code you happened to be near.
A return-type change is a breaking change, including swapping a third-party type for your own. Say so honestly in the PR; getting it wrong is how trust is lost.
Sweeping changes (docs, type hints, lint) go one module family per PR. A fifty-file sweep is unreviewable and will sit.

Before opening the PR

Where the contributing guide actually lives

Community

If the project has a chat or a regular contributor call, asking there is cheaper than a rejected PR.

# Upstream contribution

**This repo is not yours.** It belongs to its maintainers, with their own queue, their own
conventions and their own history of unmerged good intentions. Act like a guest.

## Remotes

`origin` is **your fork**. `upstream` is the project, and its push URL is set to `no_push`:

```bash
git remote set-url --push upstream no_push
git remote -v # origin = fork, upstream = project (no_push)
```

The remote you type by reflex is the one that is safe to push to. **Never commit to local
`main`** — keep it a clean mirror of upstream so rebases stay trivial:

```bash
git fetch upstream && git checkout main && git reset --hard upstream/main
```

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
