# Contribution Guide

If you are reading this, you are probably looking for the full [**contribution guide**](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/wiki/Contributing), which is part of our [wiki](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/wiki).

## Contributing to the AutoGPT Platform Folder <a href="#contributing-to-the-autogpt-platform-folder" id="contributing-to-the-autogpt-platform-folder"></a>

All contributions to [the autogpt\_platform folder](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/blob/master/autogpt_platform) will be under our [Contribution License Agreement](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/blob/master/autogpt_platform/Contributor%20License%20Agreement%20\(CLA\).md). By making a pull request contributing to this folder, you agree to the terms of our CLA for your contribution. All contributions to other folders will be under the MIT license.

## In short <a href="#in-short" id="in-short"></a>

1. Avoid duplicate work, issues, PRs etc.
2. We encourage you to collaborate with fellow community members on some of our bigger [todo's](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/discussions/6971)!
3. We highly recommend to post your idea and discuss it in the [dev channel](https://discord.com/channels/1092243196446249134/1095817829405704305).
4. Create a draft PR when starting work on bigger changes.
5. Adhere to the [Code Guidelines](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/wiki/Contributing#code-guidelines)
6. Clearly explain your changes when submitting a PR.
7. Don't submit broken code: test/validate your changes.
8. Avoid making unnecessary changes, especially if they're purely based on your personal preferences. Doing so is the maintainers' job. ;-)
9. Please also consider contributing something other than code; see the [contribution guide](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/wiki/Contributing) for options.

If you wish to involve with the project (beyond just contributing PRs), please read the wiki page about [Catalyzing](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/wiki/Catalyzing).

In fact, why not just look through the whole wiki (it's only a few pages) and hop on our Discord. See you there! :-)

❤️ & 🔆 The team @ AutoGPT <https://discord.gg/autogpt>
