Before You Start

Small Changes

For bug fixes, documentation improvements, or small enhancements — just open a PR. No need to ask first.

Large Changes

Before investing significant time in a major feature or architectural change, please reach out first. This helps ensure your work aligns with the project direction and doesn't conflict with ongoing development.

Ways to discuss ideas:

Open a GitHub issue describing your proposal
Reach out on X/Twitter: @irl_danB

This isn't gatekeeping — it's to save you from wasted effort if the change runs counter to something already in progress.

Submitting a PR

Fork the repository
Create a branch for your change
Make your changes
Test locally (run example .prose programs)
Submit the PR with a clear description

Code of Conduct
