+# Contributing
+
+Thanks for your interest in contributing! We welcome help in two areas.
+
+## Improve the docs
+
+Doc improvements are a great way to get started—typos, broken links, clearer explanations, new examples.
+
+1. Use **Edit this page** on any doc (at the bottom of each page on [docs.compasscalendar.com](https://docs.compasscalendar.com))
+2. Open a PR to this repository (compass-docs)
+3. Run the doc site locally to verify: `yarn` then `yarn start`
+
+Doc PRs don't need full Compass app setup. Just ensure the site builds and renders (`yarn build`).
+
+Full details: [How to Contribute - Improve the Docs](https://docs.compasscalendar.com/docs/contribute#improve-the-docs)
+
+## Contribute to the Compass app
+
+For code, features, and bug fixes to the Compass application itself, see the [contribute section](https://docs.compasscalendar.com/docs/contribute) in our docs. You'll find workflows, coding conventions, and how to find good first issues.
