+## I am using a rule from ESLint core, and it doesn't work correctly with TypeScript code
+
+This is a pretty common thing because TypeScript adds new features that ESLint doesn't know about.
+
+The first step is to [check our list of "extension" rules here](../../../packages/eslint-plugin/README.md#extension-rules). An extension rule is simply a rule which extends the base ESLint rules to support TypeScript syntax. If you find it in there, give it a go to see if it works for you. You can configure it by disabling the base rule, and turning on the extension rule. Here's an example with the `semi` rule:
+
+```json
+{
+  "rules": {
+    "semi": "off",
+    "@typescript-eslint/semi": "error"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+If you don't find an existing extension rule, or the extension rule doesn't work for your case, then you can go ahead and check our issues. [The contributing guide outlines the best way to raise an issue](../../../CONTRIBUTING.md#raising-issues).
