+# Contributing
+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+All interactions in the **npm** organization on GitHub are considered to be covered by our standard [Code of Conduct](https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/conduct).
+
+## Reporting Bugs
+
+Before submitting a new bug report please search for an existing or similar report.
+
+Use one of our existing issue templates if you believe you've come across a unique problem.
+
+Duplicate issues, or issues that don't use one of our templates may get closed without a response.
+
+## Pull Request Conventions
+
+### Commits
+
+We use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/).
+
+When opening a pull request please be sure that either the pull request title, or each commit in the pull request, has one of the following prefixes:
+
+ - `feat`: For when introducing a new feature.  The result will be a new semver minor version of the package when it is next published.
+ - `fix`: For bug fixes. The result will be a new semver patch version of the package when it is next published.
+ - `docs`: For documentation updates.  The result will be a new semver patch version of the package when it is next published.
+ - `chore`: For changes that do not affect the published module.  Often these are changes to tests.  The result will be *no* change to the version of the package when it is next published (as the commit does not affect the published version).
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+Pull requests made against this repo will run `npm test` automatically.  Please make sure tests pass locally before submitting a PR.
+
+Every new feature or bug fix should come with a corresponding test or tests that validate the solutions. Testing also reports on code coverage and will fail if code coverage drops.
+
+### Linting
+
+Linting is also done automatically once tests pass.  `npm run lintfix` will fix most linting errors automatically.
+
+Please make sure linting passes before submitting a PR.
+
+## What _not_ to contribute?
+
+### Dependencies
+
+It should be noted that our team does not accept third-party dependency updates/PRs.  If you submit a PR trying to update our dependencies we will close it with or without a reference to these contribution guidelines.
+
+### Tools/Automation
+
+Our core team is responsible for the maintenance of the tooling/automation in this project and we ask contributors to not make changes to these when contributing (e.g. `.github/*`, `.eslintrc.json`, `.licensee.json`).  Most of those files also have a header at the top to remind folks they are automatically generated.  Pull requests that alter these will not be accepted.
