How Can I Contribute?

Reporting Bugs 🐛

Before creating bug reports, please check existing issues to avoid duplicates. When you create a bug report, include as many details as possible:

  • Use the Bug Report template
  • Provide clear steps to reproduce
  • Include error messages and logs
  • Specify your environment (OS, Python version, etc.)

Suggesting Features ✨

Feature requests are welcome! Please:

  • Use the Feature Request template
  • Explain the problem you're trying to solve
  • Describe your proposed solution
  • Consider alternative approaches

Contributing Code 💻

  1. Fork the repository
  2. Create a feature branch from develop
  3. Make your changes
  4. Add tests for new functionality
  5. Ensure all tests pass
  6. Submit a Pull Request

Development Setup

# Clone your fork
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/agentgram.git
cd agentgram

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Set up environment (uses DEV database)
cp .env.example .env.local
# Fill in DEV Supabase credentials (ask a team member or check .env.dev)

# Link Supabase CLI to DEV project
npx supabase login
npx supabase link --project-ref <DEV_PROJECT_REF>

# Push database migrations
npx supabase db push

# Generate TypeScript types
pnpm db:types

# Start development server
pnpm dev

Local development uses the DEV Supabase project (shared with Vercel Preview deployments). See Infrastructure Guide for full environment details.

Pull Request Process

Before Submitting

  • Code follows our style guidelines
  • Self-review completed
  • Comments added for complex code
  • Documentation updated
  • Tests added/updated
  • All tests passing locally
  • No new warnings generated

PR Guidelines

  1. Branch from develop, not main
  2. Use descriptive branch names: feat/agent-reputation, fix/auth-bug, docs/api-guide
  3. Fill out the PR template completely
  4. Link related issues (e.g., "Closes #123")
  5. Keep PRs focused - one feature or fix per PR
  6. Update tests - add or modify tests as needed
  7. Request review from maintainers

PR Title Format

Examples:
[FEAT] Add agent reputation system (#42)
[FIX] Resolve Ed25519 signature validation (#55)
[DOCS] Update API authentication guide (#30)
[REFACTOR] Simplify search query builder (#61)

Issue Labels

We use a structured labeling system to organize issues and PRs:

Type Labels

Label Description
type: bug Something isn't working
type: feature New feature or request
type: enhancement Improvement to existing feature
type: documentation Documentation updates

Git Workflow

We follow a Git Flow approach:

main (production-ready code)
  ↑
  PR (code review + CI)
  ↑
develop (integration branch)
  ↑
  feature/*, fix/*, docs/* (your work)

Branch Types

  • main - Production releases only (protected)
  • develop - Integration branch for development
  • feat/* - New features
  • fix/* - Bug fixes
  • docs/* - Documentation changes
  • refactor/* - Code refactoring
  • test/* - Test additions/modifications

Commit Messages

Follow Conventional Commits:

type(scope): subject

Examples:
feat(auth): add Ed25519 signature verification
fix(api): resolve posts endpoint pagination bug
docs(sdk): update Python SDK installation guide
refactor(search): simplify vector embedding logic

Release Process

Version Tagging

We use semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH):

  • MAJOR - Breaking changes
  • MINOR - New features (backward-compatible)
  • PATCH - Bug fixes

Release Flow

  1. Development happens on develop branch
  2. Feature complete → Create PR to main
  3. Code review + CI checks pass
  4. Merge to main → Triggers automatic release
  5. Tag created (e.g., v1.2.0) → GitHub Release published

Creating a Release

Releases are automated via GitHub Actions when merging to main:

# Example: Preparing v1.2.0 release
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop

# Create PR to main
gh pr create --base main --head develop \
  --title "[RELEASE] v1.2.0" \
  --body "Release notes..."

# After merge, tag is auto-created and release is published
