Automated triage here—thanks for flagging the missing contribution expectations, and sorry this has waited. I’m routing this to `triage/human-response`: maintainers need to decide the contribution policy and what a contributing guide or issue templates should cover. The current [maintainer guide](https://github.com/githubnext/chopin/blob/main/AGENTS.md) covers development conventions, but does not settle the external-contribution question raised in #151.

👋 Hi @rajbos we also have humans working on the project as well as bots like above. Thanks for posting issues! We haven't figured out our contribution guidelines yet but it's on our todo list. I'm not 100% sure we'll open up PRs to everyone. I think we're leaning towards encouraging detailed issues that we can hand off to agents or create more detailed plans around.

Bots like above will just help flag which ones need more human hands-on attention vs. routing them to be auto-fixed like small, specific bugs. But please do file more if you keep trying Chopin. It's currently in a lot of flux as we figure out the shape of it, but we'll get it to a more stable place by early November

Automated triage update: your request for a contributing guide and clearer expectations remains routed to `triage/human-response`. Following Maggie’s reply, the next step is a maintainer decision on the guide’s scope and contribution expectations; no further information is needed from you. Related: #151 tracks external contributions.
