+
+## Reporting bugs & requesting features
+
+Please use the [issue templates](https://github.com/superdooper86/claudechecker/issues/new/choose) — they keep reports consistent and easy to act on.
+
+## Pull requests
+
+- Open an issue first to discuss anything non-trivial. This avoids wasted effort if the direction isn't a fit.
+- Keep changes focused — one fix or feature per PR.
+- Follow the existing Swift code style in the repo.
+- There's no guarantee PRs will be merged; this is a personal project maintained in spare time.
+
+## Notes
+
+- This app targets macOS 13+
+- No external dependencies — keep it that way
