# Contributing to Inference-X
Welcome. Every contribution matters — whether it's a bug report, a new backend, a translation, or a philosophical challenge to our architecture.
## Quick Start
1. Fork the relevant repository
2. Create a feature branch: `git checkout -b feat/your-feature`
3. Make your changes with clear commit messages
4. Open a Pull Request with a description of what and why
## Contribution Areas
| Area | Repository | What we need |
|---|---|---|
| Engine backends | inference-x | New hardware support (NPU, edge devices, new GPUs) |
| Community tools | ix-tools | Governance improvements, documentation, translations |
| Models | IX Store | Quantized models, adapters, organ components |
| SaaS platform | ix-tools/saas | Provider integrations, UI improvements |
## Recognition
All contributions are tracked. After your first merged PR or published Store item, you become a **Level 1 Contributor** — your name appears in CONTRIBUTORS.md and you earn voting rights in community decisions.
See [governance/GOVERNANCE.md](governance/GOVERNANCE.md) for the full contribution level system.
## Questions
Open an issue or start a discussion. We prefer public conversations over private messages — if you have a question, someone else probably does too.
