+# I405 Contribution Guide
+
+Follow the typical Github contribution flow:
+1. Create an issue about what you want to work on so we can discuss it before you spend a lot of time working on it.
+2. Fork the repo and create a branch. There's no strict naming scheme on branches.
+3. Do the work.
+4. Open a pull request.
+
+I405-specific policies to be aware of:
++ LLM-generated code is permitted if it is clearly marked by a comment. That being said, LLMs were
+  only used to help write tests in the initial I405 implementation, and even then sparingly because
+  LLMs have a tendency to write tests that mirror the implementation. Please carefully read any code
+  generated by an LLM.
++ All tests, including ignored tests, should pass: `cargo test -- --include-ignored --test-threads
+  100`. We use ignored tests to indicate tests that don't finish instantly, rather than broken
+  tests. At the time of writing, the slow tests are slow because they have to `sleep` because
+  wolfSSL uses the system time for certain timeouts (see
+  https://github.com/expressvpn/lightway/issues/203). (If you have to introduce a test that doesn't
+  pass yet for some reason, use `#cfg[any()]` instead of `#[ignore]`).
+  
+  Also, end-to-end test must pass: `end-to-end-tests/e2e_test.py`.
++ Add tests for important parts of all "pure" behavior. Changes to the "hardware" implementations
+  can be difficult to test (apart from e2e-tests), please describe what you've done to verify your
+  implementation is correct because we don't test the hardware implementations (outside of the
+  end-to-end test).
++ I405 is released under the MIT license. By opening a pull request you indicate that you are
+  releasing your contribution under the MIT license also. No copyright assignment is required.
