+# Contributing to React Zero-UI
+
+**Thanks for stopping by.** This project exists because builders like you push boundaries. If you're here to experiment, break things, or ship speed — you're in the right place.
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Core Philosophy
+
+**React Zero-UI** is built on a radical idea:
+
+> UI state should not require re-rendering.  
+> CSS and `data-*` attributes can be enough.
+
+It's fast because it **skips the VDOM entirely** — no state triggers, no diffing, no component redraws.
+
+### If you contribute:
+Stay **pre-rendered, declarative, and brutally fast.**
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 Monorepo Structure
+
+```
+packages/
+├── core     → @austinserb/react-zero-ui (library logic + postcss)
+└── cli      → create-zero-ui (npx installer)
+```
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Local Setup
+
+```bash
+pnpm bootstrap    # builds + installs local tarball into test fixtures
+pnpm test         # runs all tests (unit + E2E)
+```
+
+> Node 18+ and PNPM required.  
+> Run from repo root.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Contribution Flow
+
+### 1. [Start a Discussion](https://github.com/Austin1serb/React-Zero-UI/discussions)
+
+For questions, proposals, or early feedback. Share ideas before building.
+
+### 2. [Open an Issue](https://github.com/Austin1serb/React-Zero-UI/issues)
+
+Use the templates.
+
+* **Bug** → Include steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual behavior.
+* **Feature** → Explain the *why*, and sketch a possible approach.
+
+### 3. Pull Requests
+
+* Use semantic commit prefixes: `feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `refactor:`
+* Add tests if you touch logic, CLI, or rendering behavior.
+* Keep PRs focused — one change per pull.
+* Fill out the PR template — no empty descriptions.
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Test Commands
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:unit      # Core logic tests
+pnpm test:cli       # CLI creation flow
+pnpm test:vite      # E2E tests on Vite fixture
+pnpm test:next      # E2E tests on Next.js fixture
+pnpm test           # Runs all of the above
+```
