Thank you for considering a contribution. MicroResolve is a solo-maintained project — PRs, issues, and seed packs from real-world usage are how it improves.
- Report a bug — open an issue using the bug template.
- Suggest a feature — open an issue using the feature template; explain the use case, not just the implementation.
- Share a seed pack — domain-specific intent seeds (SaaS, MCP, e-commerce, gaming, etc.) that others can reuse. Open a seed-pack issue.
- Run a benchmark — results on your own data, public or private-summary. Non-English benchmarks especially welcome.
- Fix a bug / implement a feature — open an issue first for anything non-trivial so we can align on approach before you write code.
Prerequisites: Rust stable (rustup default stable), Python 3.11+, Node 20+.
git clone https://github.com/gladius/microresolve
cd microresolve
# Run Rust tests
cargo test --all-features
# Build the HTTP server
cargo build --release --bin microresolve-studio --features server
# Build + install the Python bindings locally
cd python
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install maturin
maturin develop --release
cd ..
# Build the Node bindings
cd node
npm install
npx napi build --release
cd ..- Open an issue first for any change larger than a typo or a small bug fix. This saves both of us wasted work.
- One concern per PR. A PR that fixes a bug and adds an unrelated feature is two PRs.
- Tests required for new behaviour. Performance claims need a benchmark.
- CI must pass —
cargo fmt --all -- --check,cargo clippy,cargo test, Python + Node build smoke tests. - Commit messages — short imperative subject line (
fix: handle empty query), body explains why if non-obvious. Conventional commits prefix (feat:,fix:,perf:,docs:,refactor:,test:,chore:) is preferred but not enforced.
AI-assisted development is allowed and welcome. If an AI agent (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) generated part of your contribution:
- Verify the code runs and tests pass locally before opening the PR. Treat AI output the same as code from a junior developer: review it.
- Disclose AI assistance in the PR description if substantial portions were generated. A one-line "Drafted with Claude, reviewed by me" is sufficient.
- Do not submit AI-generated issues or PRs in bulk. Spam PRs from automated agents will be closed without review.
