For Reviewers

When reviewing documentation PRs, please consider:

✅ Technical accuracy

  • Code examples work as written
  • Commands and configurations are correct
  • Links resolve to the right destinations
  • Prerequisites and requirements are accurate

✅ Clarity and completeness

  • Instructions are clear and easy to follow
  • Steps are in logical order
  • Nothing important is missing
  • Examples help illustrate the concepts

✅ User experience

  • A new user could follow these docs successfully
  • Common gotchas or edge cases are addressed
  • Error messages or troubleshooting guidance is helpful

Note

Low Risk
Adds contributor-facing markdown only; no runtime, auth, or product behavior changes.

Overview
Adds a new CONTRIBUTING.md at the repo root so external contributors know how to work on Mintlify documentation.

The guide covers what to submit (fixes, gaps) versus what is out of scope (tone-only edits, site structure), writing style, and workflow for issues and PRs (including routing bugs and feature requests away from this repo). It also sets expectations for reviews, AI use (allowed for PR help, not bulk commits or AI-opened issues), and a full Code of Conduct (Contributor Covenant 3.0) with reporting via support@mintlify.com and an enforcement ladder.

This is documentation-only; published docs already treat CONTRIBUTING.md as mintignored by default.
