+# Contributing to `ort`
+Thank you for contributing to ort =) Any contribution is welcome, whether its a huge refactor or a simple typo fix!
+
+## ⚠️ AI assistance notice
+This project does not allow the usage of artificial intelligence agents to write or architect code or documentation. PRs containing AI-generated or AI-assisted code/docs will be rejected. Special exception is granted to very menial tasks like [filling out long `match` arms](https://github.com/pykeio/ort/blob/d931f0ac509ec075cdc81f3c4872c09b7122d752/src/tensor/types.rs#L109-L166).
+
+Using AI to "spruce up" issue or PR descriptions is discouraged (though machine translation is okay).
+
+## Proposing API changes & features
+Please open an issue before starting any PRs that modify `ort`'s API so that any concerns can be resolved before work begins.
+
+## Adding a new example
+`ort`'s examples are structured very differently from other Rust projects (they're really weird!). The `gpt2` example is a good reference for creating new examples.
+
+Let's call our new example `agi-net`. To start off, create a directory in `examples/agi-net` and add a `Cargo.toml` which looks like this:
+```toml
+[package]
+publish = false
+name = "example-agi-net"
+version = "0.0.0"
+edition = "2024"
+
+[dependencies]
+ort = { path = "../../" }
+
+ort-candle = { path = "../../backends/candle", optional = true }
+ort-tract = { path = "../../backends/tract", optional = true }
+
+[features]
+load-dynamic = [ "ort/load-dynamic" ]
+
+cuda = [ "ort/cuda" ]
+# ...copy the rest of the features from gpt2/Cargo.toml...
+azure = [ "ort/azure" ]
+
+backend-candle = [ "ort/alternative-backend", "dep:ort-candle" ]
+backend-tract = [ "ort/alternative-backend", "dep:ort-tract" ]
+
+[[example]]
+name = "agi-net"
+path = "agi-net.rs"
+```
+
+You can of course add dependencies and `ort` features as needed.
+
+Next, `examples/agi-net` needs to be added to the `workspace.exclude` field in the root `Cargo.toml` to separate it from the main workspace. You can then open `examples/agi-net` in your IDE.
+
+The main example `examples/agi-net/agi-net.rs` should look like this:
+```rs
+use ort::{...};
+
+// Include common code for `ort` examples that allows using the various feature flags to enable different EPs and
+// backends.
+#[path = "../common/mod.rs"]
+mod common;
+
+fn main() -> ort::Result<()> {
+	// Initialize tracing to receive debug messages from `ort`
+	tracing_subscriber::registry()
+		.with(tracing_subscriber::EnvFilter::try_from_default_env().unwrap_or_else(|_| "info,ort=debug".into()))
+		.with(tracing_subscriber::fmt::layer())
+		.init();
+
+	// Register EPs based on feature flags - this isn't crucial for usage and can be removed.
+	common::init()?;
+
+    ... // The AGI part is left as an exercise for the reader.
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+Make sure to keep the comments annotating `mod common`, the tracing initialization, and `common::init` so their purpose is clear.
+
+The last thing we need to do in order to make the example runnable is to add a Cargo alias to the `.cargo/config.toml` in the root of the repository:
+```toml
+[alias]
+...
+example-agi-net = ["run", "--manifest-path", "examples/agi-net/Cargo.toml", "--example", "agi-net", "--target-dir", "target"]
+```
+
+Once you're done writing the example, run it, take a screenshot of your masterpiece, and add it to `examples/README.md`!
+
+## Contributing code changes
+After making code changes, please do the following before submitting your PR so it can be accepted quicker.
+
+<ol>
+<li>
+
+**Format the code**. This requires a nightly Rust toolchain, which can be installed with `rustup toolchain install nightly`. The exact version of the toolchain required can be found in [`.github/workflows/code-quality.yml`](https://github.com/pykeio/ort/blob/main/.github/workflows/code-quality.yml), but it's ok if you have a newer version.
+
+In the root of the repository, run:
+```shell
+$ cargo +nightly fmt
+```
+
+Any warnings about "`fn_call_width`" can be safely ignored. I don't know how to fix that.
+
+</li>
+<li>
+
+**Test the code**. Ideally use stable Rust for this step. When testing code, the `fetch-models` feature flag is required, since many tests depend on externally hosted models.
+
+In the root of the repository, run:
+```shell
+$ cargo test --features fetch-models
+```
+
+Generally, you don't need to enable any other features, unless you changed something related to a non-default feature like `load-dynamic`. Don't enable `--all-features`, as this will error; testing with only the default features (+ `fetch-models`) is fine.
+
+Alternative backends aren't part of the main workspace, so if you change code in one of them, you'll have to `cd` into that backend and run `cargo test` there (`fetch-models` is not required).
+
+</li>
+</ol>
+
+If you made changes to the public API, then make sure to update all examples as well, since they aren't in the main workspace and thus aren't checked by `cargo check` or `cargo test`.

+## Reporting security concerns
+See [`SECURITY.md`](https://github.com/pykeio/ort/blob/main/SECURITY.md) for information on reporting security concerns; do not use public forums to report vulnerabilities.

+# Reporting security concerns
+Security concerns should be reported to [contact@pyke.io](mailto:contact@pyke.io?subject=ort%20vulnerability%20disclosure). **Do not report vulnerabilities in GitHub issues** or any other public forum (GitHub Discussions, Discord).
+
+When making a report, ensure that the issue is actionable by `ort` or one of its alternative backends - `ort-candle`, `ort-tract`, and `ort-web`. For example: a buffer overflow caused by a bad session input name *is* actionable; an RCE caused by a maliciously crafted `.onnx` file *is not* actionable (as `ort` itself does not handle model loading), and we suggest you report the issue to the underlying runtime instead.
+
+For issues affecting ONNX Runtime in general, see [Microsoft's security disclosure information](https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/blob/main/SECURITY.md).
+
+## Maintained versions
+1.x branches of `ort` are not maintained and will not receive security patches.
+
+After version 2.0.0 is stable, all minor versions (2.x) will receive security patches.
