Contributing to Vitalis-FSI

We welcome contributions to the Vitalis-FSI ecosystem. To ensure the framework remains lean, sovereign, and surgically precise:

  1. Keep it lean: New modules must not introduce external dependencies. We prioritize pure NumPy implementations.
  2. Document everything: Every new plugin or module must include clear docstrings.
  3. Benchmark impact: If submitting a new cognitive layer, include a summary of the impact on reasoning benchmarks.
  4. Style: Follow standard PEP-8 guidelines.
  5. PR Flow: Create a feature branch, run the benchmark suite (bash benchmark/run_all.sh), and submit a Pull Request.

Happy hacking.

Contributing to Veritas_Core

We welcome professional contributions to Veritas_Core. To ensure the integrity of the architecture and the security of the framework, all contributions must adhere to the following guidelines.

Development Standards

  • Security First: All changes must undergo a security review. Any commit that introduces a potential vulnerability in the kernel_interface or sovereign_shield will be rejected.
  • Minimalism: Veritas_Core is built on a "low-dependency" philosophy. Do not introduce new external libraries unless absolutely necessary for the core engine.
  • Code Style: Code must be clean, modular, and documented. Ensure all new functions have clear docstrings and follow existing naming conventions.

How to Contribute

  1. Fork the Repository: Create your own fork of the main branch.
  2. Feature Branching: Create a branch for your specific task (e.g., feature/memory-optimization or fix/kernel-bridge).
  3. Submit a Pull Request (PR): Clearly describe the change, the architectural impact, and the testing performed.
  4. Review Process: The lead architect (Neuro_Nomad) will review the PR for security, efficiency, and structural alignment.

Reporting Issues

If you identify a bug or a security vulnerability, please open an issue with:

  • A clear description of the issue.
  • Steps to reproduce the behavior.
  • Expected vs. actual results.
  • Any relevant logs or kernel telemetry.

Veritas_Core is a sovereign framework. Contributions must uphold the integrity of this mission.
