# Contributing to `pliron`
- First time contributors are encouraged to join the `pliron` Discord channel
and discuss / seek help.
- Intrusive and large contributions must be discussed in Discord before
an actual PR is created.
- Our policy on using AI tools is, largely, the same as that of the
[LLVM Project](https://llvm.org/docs/AIToolPolicy.html).
- If your PR is from a fork, please leave
["Allow edits from maintainers"](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/how-tos/work-with-forks/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork)
enabled. This lets maintainers push small fixes directly to your branch
instead of waiting on a round trip, which speeds up review.
